Further to previous briefs, PSA has recently received a letter from SA Health which provides an update of the consolidation of SA Health Medical Imaging Services.

They advise that Ernst and Young have now been engaged to undertake the review of existing imaging services and provide recommendations on the best solution for the establishment of a state-wide service for implementation by 1 July 2011 and a project governance committee structure has been established.

The structure includes a SA Imaging Steering Committee whose inaugural meeting was held on 16 November 2010 and a range of subcommittees are being established to provide expert advice in the following identified areas:
Finance
      *
        HR and Industrial Relations
      *
        Clinical, Research, Teaching and Training
      *
        Workflow/ Service Model
      *
        Communications, and
      *
        Business Strategic Planning
      *
        SA Health further advise that Ernst and Young will be working closely with these subcommittees and relevant health unit sites over the coming weeks to gain a comprehensive insight into the current imaging environment and will provide recommendations for consideration by mid February 2011.
