EXPLORING THE FUTURE OF
HEALTHCARE DELIVERY
The Digital Health Agency has granted funding
to health experts so that it can help the ACCHS
in NSW by providing resources and expertise in
digital health technology so that they can offer
the Aboriginal communities high-quality
healthcare services. Consider digital health to be
more than just a gimmick; rather, it is an
essential component of our business that
enables us to carry out our mission of enhancing
the well-being of the Aboriginal community and
extending life.
Using digital health technologies has
several advantages, such as:
• Increased effectiveness: By lowering paperwork,
enhancing communication, and simplifying the
access process, digital health technology can
contribute to an increase in the effectiveness of
healthcare.
• Increased quality: By giving doctors access to
more patient data, enabling remote patient
monitoring, and giving patients access to training
materials, digital health technology can assist to
raise the standard of care.
• Improved accessibility: Regardless of a person's
location or financial situation, digital health
technology can make healthcare more accessible
by making it simpler for people to receive care.
Even if there are a lot of potential advantages to digital
health, there are certain issues that must be resolved, such
•aSs:e curity: Security is a major concern with digital health
technologies, as patient data is often stored on these
devices.
• Interoperability: Different digital health technologies often do
not work together, making it difficult for patients to share
their data with their healthcare providers.
• Digital literacy: Aboriginal people may have lower levels of
digital literacy than other Australians, which can make it
difficult for them to use digital health technologies.
• Cultural appropriateness: Digital health technologies need to
be culturally appropriate for Aboriginal people. This means
that they need to be designed in a way that is respectful of
Aboriginal culture and values.
• Adoption: There is a need to increase the adoption of digital
health technologies by both healthcare providers and
patients.
Aiming to improve the quality and
sustainability of health and care, the National
Digital Health Strategy identified seven
strategic targets that are encompassed by the
umbrella term "digital health." By highlighting
the four divisions in the strategy's
implementation for NSW's Aboriginal
communities. These divisions are:
• My Health Record
• Electronic Prescription
• High-quality data
• Telehealth.
