Towards One Healthcare System Summit
Brought to you by Health Services Daily, Wild Health and The Medical Republic, in partnership with the The Australasian Institute of Digital Health and Nous Group.
A half-day workshop and one-day summit, bringing together key thought leaders from state and federal governments and agencies, hospitals, PHNs, primary, specialist and allied care provider groups, consumer health advocates, private health insurers and leading technology vendors, to examine what practical steps we could take from here to help better align current disparate policies, regulation, initiatives, technology and politics towards a framework that would facilitate our entire healthcare system operating more like it was one integrated system.
The event is not about moonshot ideas.
It will aim to surface and discuss obvious, practical and achievable initiatives to shift the system away from the many redundancies and inefficiencies that have built up as natural consequence of a federated model of funding and care and a now large legacy technology base.
Topics include:
· What changes to our technology base can do over and above any structural and/or funding reform
· A strawman for piloting a single integrated regional health funding and management paradigm
· Workforce and technology, particularly AI
· The role of the private sector and public private partnerships in a one system model
· Evolution not revolution of funding models
· Coping with the politics and emotion of system change within a system that is changing
The one-day workshop on the 17th will be followed by HSD welcome drinks for all summit attendees.
