Workshop: Investing in the digital health capabilities of the allied health professional sector

Sharing insights from their own international experiences working across the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia, the workshop leads will deliver an informative and interactive session. The workshop will make a case that AHPs are the untapped potential of digital health and build energy and leadership for advancing digitally ready, mature, and enabled AHPs.

The workshop will provide an informative, collaborative environment and resources to help AHPs map and align career pathways to key digital capabilities and competencies. The workshop will contribute to developing AHPs to be a part of the clinical informatics community, investing in digital skills and literacy and establishing career pathways into digital health. It is important to note that although the workshop focuses on crucial AHP challenges and opportunities, it welcomes clinicians from all disciplines looking to invest in digital health capabilities. The workshop will embody the ethos that we are 'better together.'


Tutorial: Conducting clinical informatics survey research: Scientific methods and applications

After attending this tutorial, MedInfo participants will be able to: 1) Design complementary mixed mode survey and administration strategies to create and administer clinical informatics surveys. 2) Describe complementary quantitative and qualitative methodologies used to evaluate measurement quality of survey instruments used in clinical informatics research; 3) Apply cross-sectional and longitudinal survey methods used in clinical informatics research. This session highlights unique challenges of clinical informatics survey methodologies in healthcare settings, however methods could be applied broadly to other settings too. Attendees will be able to identify and incorporate survey methodologies for future clinical informatics survey research initiatives. An exchange of ideas and experiences will be enlisted from the audience regarding methods discussed.
