Innovation is at the forefront of Australia's healthcare agenda with the National Digital Health Strategy 2018-2022 now approved. As hospitals transition to digital healthcare, it is crucial organisations have robust strategies in place to ensure systems are integrated smoothly, costs are kept to a minimum and that they continue to provide a high quality of care.
Akolade’s 3rd Digital Hospitals provides attendees with leading national and international case studies demonstrating successful hospital-wide transformation and complete integration of digital processes. The forum offers proven strategies to establish infrastructure for transformation and explore the possibilities of artificial intelligence and bionics. By learning how to leverage the potential of IOT and big data in health care, hospitals can drive improvements in efficiency and patient care.
