Bruce Winzar, Executive Director Information Services and Chief Information Officer, Bendigo Health Bruce will explore how the commissioning of the new Bendigo Hospital will bring innovation to the interaction with health consumers.

The Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) would like to extend an invitation for you to join them at the forthcoming regional event ‘Bendigo - Bringing Innovation to the Patient Journey’.

This event is the continuation of our Regional eHealth series, exploring how developments in the Health Sector in Australia are playing out for regional consumers and service providers.

This event will feature presentations as follows:

Bruce Winzar, Executive Director Information Services and Chief Information Officer, Bendigo Health Bruce will explore how the commissioning of the new Bendigo Hospital will bring innovation to the interaction with health consumers.

The focus will be on innovation not in a technical or clinical sense, but rather innovation in how health consumers engage with healthcare providers. The combination of the new Hospital and the move to a Primary Health Network will impact how services are planned, coordinated, delivered and accessed. This event will ask what will be different/better in how people find their way to health services in future, get access to them, and get continuity of engagement.

Bruce will lead off with an introductory overview of the range of new technologies the Hospital will have available – from RFID to the new EMR - and then illustrate their benefits via a number of User Stories that will trace the patient journey and highlight where the new technologies will impact.

A second speaker (TBC) from Community Health will look at the role of the Murray Primary Health Network – providing the community view of what will be an integrated patient journey, with effective communication between primary health and the Hospital enabled by electronic referrals, discharge, etc

These presentations will allow for discussion on how analytics will increasingly drive population health planning – for disease prevention and health and wellness promotion.

The event will finish with a Q&A session with both speakers, facilitated by Anne Cheetham, National Programme Director for Health with Ajilon and Chair of the AIIA eHealth Special Interest Group (SIG).
