In October 2019, the Western Australian Department of Health (WA Health) released its Digital Strategy 2020-2030 which set out a bold and exciting agenda. Confronted by the COVID-19 pandemic, ICT initiatives that enabled protecting the health of individuals and their community came to the fore.
In parallel the Digital transformation of healthcare continues to gain momentum. In Western Australia (WA) alone, health care supported by video conferencing or Telehealth increased by over 1,000% in Speech Pathology, 500% in Diabetes and 7,000% in Physiotherapy in 2019-20 as compared to 2018-19.
WA Health presents this influential workshop to celebrate and share the success of initiatives which have been expedited as a response to COVID-19, seek industry input to the annual review of the WA Health 2020-2030 Digital Strategy Roadmap, and learn from industry experts on how best to achieve success against priorities.
The workshop will provide a chance to recognise the importance of the industry voice as part of the annual review of the roadmap. Consultation with industry and the community will occur over the coming months. The workshop will be a conversation to share where we are now and discuss how industry can support priorities that will serve consumers, carers, clinicians and the healthcare workforce for decades to come.
