I Am Not Sure How To Put This Criticism Nicely But Really Something Needs To Be Said.

This appeared last week:

My Health Record: Enhancing Aged Care Practice

About the event

Are you an Aged Care Nurse interested in exploring more about how My Health Record can help you in caring for your patients? Or are you currently using My Health Record and would like to share your experiences around how you are utilising the My Health Record system within Aged Care?

We are excited to host an upcoming webinar in partnership with the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) on 'My Health Record: Enhancing Aged Care Practice'. This webinar will be an opportunity for nurses to connect with a representative from ADHA and share your views and thoughts, as well as ask questions around how My Health Record can help you within Aged Care and how it could make your job easier.

Key Learning Objectives 

  • Recognise the significance of integrating My Health Record into aged care facilities to enhance the quality of care provided to elderly residents.
  • Understand how access to comprehensive health information through My Health Record improves medication management, reduces medical errors, and enhances coordination among healthcare professionals in aged care settings.
  • Learn how My Health Record promotes resident-centered care by empowering elderly individuals and their families to actively engage in managing their health information and facilitating communication with healthcare providers.

I really wonder what is going on at the ADHA that Alicia is the most qualified / suitable person who can be offered to conduct this session. I am just not sure, given the nursing audience, how this can be seen as fair to either audience or speaker.

I am in no way critical of Alicia but I do wonder why the ADHA chose her for this role.

What do others think?

ADHA clutching at straws, still searching desperately for some believable use for the dinosaur.

And failing yet again.

One thing I did enjoy in the NeHTA days was at least their workshops and events had rooms full of people who knew a thing or two and you always came away richer for the experience.

This has all the hallmarks of a box ticking exercise with little substance or purpose.

Like you David it the institution flaws not the individuals boldness I have issue with
