This Is The Prize Winner For Coverage Of The ADHA Annual Report For 2018-19

Sorry but this is just wonderful in its awfulness!

Digital health care

Published On 07 Nov 2019 04:24 PM


The nation of Australia has been working on making its healthcare system better, and the efforts to make this happen are just rising and there has been significant improvement in the system and with the rise of digitization and technology the integration of digital tech with the medical and health care systems of the nation just becomes essential to the growth of the sector.
The Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) has stated that it is making “significant progress” towards the main priorities of the national digital health strategy that are going to change the way the Australian medical scene will look like in the near future. Australia’s healthcare infrastructure has been adapting to the digital ways, and it has been doing so good so far, and we think that the nation will be doing better if these advancements pick up a little speed and take inspiration from the rest of the world and make the world a better place. My Health Record, an initiate of integrating the digital aspect of the health care system, has been reached 90 percent of Australians, which is a good sign as the nation can use this to make sure that the people are comfortable with this.
We expect that the health care system gets better by the day, and we are seeing major changes through the digital approach that has been taken, but there are security risks also involved in the process which are seeming like they have been overlooked so that just might be the only issue.

re '“significant progress” towards the main priorities of the national digital health strategy that are going to change the way the Australian medical scene will look like in the near future.'

It's nice to know what their priority is but how about telling us about a single instance of a meaningful healthcare outcome since 2012 when the PCEHR was released into the wild.

Tried that - Computer said no.

Becoming more and more common sadly. The Advertising industry continues to go to great lengths to be invasive in our online and offline lives.

Here's a thing....
This is the website of the 10th Annual Australian Healthcare Week, March 2020
https://www.iqpc.com/events-austhealthweek

There is a brochure but you have to signup for it. To save you the trouble, this is the bit that caught my eye:

Digital Health - A Human Imperative
Dr Amandeep Hansra, Clinical Reference Lead, Australian Digital Health Agency

will:

* Deliver a 2020 update on Australia’s National Digital Health Strategy, including the latest statistics on My Health Record take up rates and connections by healthcare providers

* Explain how My Health Record supports improved health care delivery by GPs,
specialists, pathology and radiology services, pharmacies and hospitals

* Provide insights into the future of the expansion of digital health in Australia

It's the sort of talk Mr Kelsey normally does. Maybe he's on holiday or something.

Amandeep's half hour is the only place My Health Record gets a mention. So much for "Today The #myHealthRecord Is A Fundamental Feature Of Australia’s Health Infrastructure" as in your poll this week, David.

There's a few reference leads from ADHA but the only senior ADHA person seems to be Anthony Kitzelmann, Chief Information Security Officer & General Manager

It says he's a speaker, but he's really only part of a panel discussion

Interstate Cyber Security Discussion:
Working Together to Build a Robust National Approach to Cyber Security in Healthcare

The only places interoperability gets a mention are:

How Metro South Health is pioneering Australia’s first real-time health service to improve care and device interoperability

and,

How Aged Care Guild is Using Real Time Data Technology to Measure and Improve Customer Experience

Aged Care Guild is partnering with Carepage to develop a tool that could become an industry benchmark for measuring and collating customer feedback. It is designed to help providers adapt to change, predict future trends and better understand the customer.

Learn how to:
* Use benchmarking to improve transparency and accessibility by presenting meaningful data in a more digestible form that will help customers make informed decisions about their care

* Collaborate with industry partners to build relevant tools and leverage the relationship to better negotiate the design and outcomes for more efficient and streamlined results

* Overcome challenges around external partnerships, such as building a sustainable
design and relationship, data analysis, system interoperability and attracting and maintaining the right talent

Matthew Richter, Chief Executive Officer, Aged Care Guild

Make of all that what you will.
