Free webinar on the downsides of hospital digitisation

On Thursday 27 August at 3pm AEST Wild Health will talk to three experts about patient data management and resulting staff burnout.

---

One of the promises of a modern digital hospital set up is the simultaneous management of multiple patients with multiple data points, on many integrated and co-ordinated devices.

The reality has more regularly been a build-up of poorly integrated systems. With multiple digital devices arriving at a patient’s bedside, the potential for fatigue and confusion among the care team is expanding rapidly.

In this interactive webinar hosted by The Medical Republic’s sister publication Wild Health, the expert panel will talk about what progress their hospitals and hospital networks have made in this important emerging area of digital development, the issues they currently face, and how they are planning to solve the increasing complexity their hospitals will face moving forward.

You will have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in the conversation.
