Wild Health 24 in October in Melbourne will dive into leading edge government initiatives for connected care, and discuss what hospitals and the private sector are doing to get around current funding restraints.
At no time in the history of the Australian healthcare system has there been so much activity in terms of impending major changes to technology and platforms in the healthcare system. And the changes are not just being driven by government.
Across the nation hospitals and corporate healthcare providers are moving rapidly towards new models of virtual and connected care to get in front of major workforce issues and rapidly deteriorating budget positions across the states.
Virtual and connected-care models are springing up across the country despite the fact public funding models aren’t designed to support them.
The system is creaking with the anticipation of big changes.
