Like other electronic health record systems, EPAS is intended to provide a single health record for all patients with a single point of access.
Adam Internet's role will be to replicate EPAS at its tier-3 data centre (currently being expanded) in order to provide high availability.
The main system will run at South Australia's Glenside data centre.
David Johnston, executive director of e-health services at SA Health, said "The EPAS project is an important initiative for the future of public health care in South Australia.
"This is a complex project that will only be a success if data management and storage is robust.

The contract between SA Health and Adam Internet has a term of 10 years.
