Digital health to transform Australia’s health system and save lives
13 June 2018 - Australia now has many of the building blocks in place to roll out a digitally enabled health system that could transform care services, an expert report has found.
The report, developed after an expert roundtable initiated by the Consumers Health Forum and The George Institute for Global Health, says “the time is now ripe” to support the expansion of digital health technology in vital areas including chronic care and residential aged care.
The report is based on discussions held by around 40 consumers, clinicians, academics, government and industry supported by the Australian Digital Health Agency.
