Long-standing SA Health CEO David Swan is leaving the department to head up the private hospital arm of St Vincent’s Health as the state's ninth facility gears up to go live with the troublesome Electronic Patient Administration System (EPAS).
Mr Swan, who was appointed CEO in 2010 and also chaired the Health Ministers’ Advisory Council, has been an integral part of the EPAS roll-out, which has hit a number of hurdles over the last few years including much resistance from clinicians.
