HOW A DIGITAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WILL SAVE LIVES AND PROVIDE EQUITABLE MEDICAL CARE
HOW A DIGITAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WILL SAVE LIVES AND PROVIDE EQUITABLE MEDICAL CARE:
IN CONNECTED CARE, RICHARD ROYLE AND DAVID HANSEN OFFER A VISION FOR A DIGITALLY CONNECTED HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
Imagine a time when any patient, no matter who they are or where they live, can visit their doctor online and immediately access all the relevant diagnostic information and medical records. A time where a holistic view of a person’s health data is always at their fingertips, empowering clinicians to deliver faster, more accurate, and life-saving care.
Some of this is a reality now, but the system is clunky, incomplete and inefficient. While industries like banking and commerce have embraced digital methodologies, the health sector in Australia has lagged seriously behind. Even when digital technologies have been implemented, fragmented and inefficient e-health technologies have created information silos, frustrating clinicians and patients alike.
With over two decades of experience in e-health in Australia, Richard Royle and David Hansen are committed to the creation of a digital health system that enables connected care for consumers and health providers across the country. Connected Care: Digital Health in Australia is the first publication that details the history of digital health development over the last 30 years, as well as identifying current developments that will lead future health innovation. It outlines the challenges ahead and what governments and health providers can do to build and encourage the uptake of the necessary technology to deliver connected care for all.
In the book, Royle and Hanson advocate for a properly interconnected healthcare system that will reduce costs and increase efficiencies in what is currently an overstretched sector—and most importantly, will save lives. A digital health community that reliably provides connected care will deliver greater wellbeing to everyone.
