Workshop

Enabling Victoria’s digital health roadmap

This session explores how Victoria’s digital health roadmap is enabled in an open dialogue with health informaticists from around Australia.

Workshop

How to achieve great outcomes by partnering with patients in the age of precision healthcare

It is increasingly acknowledged that current acute-focused models of healthcare provision are not cost effective, resulting in an imperative to take action in favour of health and wellness approaches that are more proactive.

This workshop will explore how partnering with patients in precision health and wellness could provide proactive care pathways that benefit both patients and the health system over the long term. We also ask how the health budget can be triaged to best achieve the change management required and financing required, building upon what has worked well, including the learnings during COVID and taking innovative approaches.

Learning objectives

1. Understand the ongoing barriers that patients face, the technology enablers and the practicalities of putting technology and knowledge into action during the lived experience of acute and chronic illness
2. Understand the big picture in terms of what the possibilities are for precision health, precision medicine and how the field is moving internationally and in Australia
3. Bringing together patient experience at a systems level to gain insights as to how a collaborative effort is building a patient-centered model through vision, collaboration, change leadership and public financing

Workshop

Australian Digital Health Standards – designing guiding principles

Join a community discussion on digital health standards hosted by the Australian Digital Health Agency and be part of an exciting next step in securing the future of healthcare interoperability.

The Australian Digital Health Agency’s National Digital Health Standards Program is bringing together the standards development community. The Guiding Principles project aims to deliver a nationally agreed consensus set of principles to guide standards development organisations, software developers and governments on the development, adoption and implementation of National Digital Health Standards.

This session will provide attendees with:

• an update on the digital health standards journey to date;
• the key steps in the 2022 workplan for the Program; and
• an opportunity to review and discuss the proposed Guiding Principles.

Masterclass

Engaging consumers and patients with low code, no code… and a dash of intelligence

Health consumers and patients expect to engage digitally and virtually with health services. This trend has been accelerated by the pandemic, fuelling innovation and new engagement models. How can we ensure that rapidly delivered new solutions are secure, capable, extensible, and interoperable?

This masterclass will explore how low-code/no-code configuration of platforms can support the creation of these solutions, even by people who do not have a programming background. This session will start with a patient engagement platform and demonstrate how these experiences can be enhanced with intelligence such as concierge bots and language translation services.

Learning objectives

1. Being able to digitally transform the way data is received
2. Identifying low code/no-code configurations to engage in data solutions
3. Enhancing platforms with intelligence and language translations

Masterclass

FHIR, OpenEHR, OMOP… OH MY!!

FHIR, OpenEHR and OMOP are all frequently used terms with significantly increasing levels of adoption both within Australia and globally. One of the most common asked questions is how do I determine which standard to use?

This masterclass will bring together experts to discuss the intended use cases and interplay between these specifications, implementation considerations and importantly the role of terminology in underpinning all models.
