Overview
The healthcare system is facing increasing challenges and many demands from multiple fronts. It has been a difficult time for all concerned. As we start to move past and live with COVID we need to challenge ourselves on health system change. Our theme for next year’s international MEDINFO 2023 event is – THE FUTURE IS ACCESSIBLE. With an international and national audience, we aim to inspire and lead discussion and implement actions where we are collectively building a health sector that is accessible, where data is not locked in silos, and where both clinicians and consumers can work together in partnership towards healthier lives, digitally enabled.
This panel at the end of the AIDH Sydney Summit will examine the topic of what we mean by an accessible health system. How can we challenge ourselves and the work we all do to make a difference towards a better-connected health system by July next year?
