Empowering Australia’s Digitally enabled future: A business intelligence system for Government and the Community AND Health Informatics on FHIR: How interoperability is producing transformative innovation in health care.
About this event
* Data Science underpinned by ethics, cyber and privacy-protecting practices
* Evaluation and monitoring of citizen’s outcomes from government-funded services
* International standard for data sharing – Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC1) working group
Dr Mark Braunstein will present on:
* Interoperability has long been an impediment to progress in using digital information for better patient care
* Health care has developed a universal API and data model (invented by an Australian)
* The US government has mandated adoption so innovative commercial apps are being marketed by the major electronic health record systems vendors (whose EHRs also used here in Australia)
