Patients and staff requiring the use of radiology services at SA’s major hospitals were “incredibly frustrated and demoralised” when a medical software system failed this week, the doctors union says. From 9.30am until 3pm on Tuesday, the Enterprise System for Medical Imaging (ESMI) went down. The system is the electronic management system for imaging services such as X-rays, CT scans and MRIs. SA Salaried Medical Officers Association industrial officer Bernadette Mulholland said the failure meant staff were forced to use a manual system which “slows down” the whole process of finding appointments and delivering reports to radiologists.

The Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service has started advertising for seven members – including a chairman or woman – to replace all the members who resigned four months ago. The board, led by prominent Cairns accountant Carolyn Eagle, quit in September after it was revealed the health service was facing an $80 million operating deficit for the 2016-17 financial year. Since then the board positions have been described as a “poisoned chalice” by some members of the business community.

Noeline Virtu suffered an injury to her right wrist on 23 July 2014 when she tripped in a pothole in a dark laneway on her way to work with Greenacres Disability Services. Ms Virtu says that she suffered the injury because she was required to walk down the laneway to catch a bus from her home at Koonawarra to meet the “Greenacres bus” at Unanderra which would take her to work. Greenacres disputes Ms Virtu’s claim because she was injured whilst on a journey to work and there was no “real and substantial connection” between her employment and the injury in accordance with s10(3A) of the Workers Compensation Act 1987 (the 1987 Act). Ms Virtu claims weekly payments of compensation of $41.30 per week from 23 July 2014 to 5 November 2014 and from 12 January 2015 to 6 March 2015 and medical expenses, and that is pretty much what the NSW Worker Compensation Commission awarded her.
