Australia’s digital health Twitterati got good air time throughout the Digital Health Institute Summit this week.
Digital health junkies revelled in catching up face-to-face at the summit but still got social on socials.
Here are some of the best tweets starting with a joyful delegate.
I left Adelaide and when landing in Melbourne got this notification: Twenty-nine scientific abstracts were accepted for presentation at the Summit in 2022, and yours was selected with 13 others for submission to the journal: Applied Clinical Informatics (Q1 Journal 😀 👏). #DHIS https://t.co/bSZ3Liocl6 pic.twitter.com/ZIfjKSHKQm

I agree—interoperability is about the patient. It’s not just technical, it’s not just plumbing. It’s empowering a person and her team with the data needed to make best decisions @CernerAustralia #DHIS2022 pic.twitter.com/1p0niR0R7w

Wicked problems were debated.
Do we have a chicken and the egg problem with workforce development in digital health in Australia? @TheInstituteDH #DHIS2022 Universities can create training but will anyone come if there is no career path? Thoughts? @wendywchapman @louise_schaper @timfazio @dcapurro pic.twitter.com/firApZ8BZq

My review on effect of the #EMR on interprofessional practice – targeted enhancements to an EMR have the capability of promoting enhanced communication and coordination of patient care.

Patient voices amplified.
In Personalising #PrecisionMedicine session, Suzanne Roche, Head Marketing+Comms AU Cloud, says she felt like a 'cost & impost', during cancer diagnosis process. Embarrassed re 'complaining', so saw a second GP to talk about some aspects. Says, 'the process' broke her. #DHIS2022 pic.twitter.com/pofb5HXu3t

If you say you have 'patient-centred care'without patient access to data' you're lying @chapmanbe#DHIS2022

My favorite quote of #DHIS2022 by @gillyminn : we need to reposition “convenience” of telehealth and virtual care as an “access” issue pic.twitter.com/IEKc6oPMX9

State updates were popular.
Big high five for @DamianJGreen and his vision and leadership for a statewide virtual healthcare strategy. A love the vision for a seamless integration between virtual and in-person care. This is how healthcare should be! 👏 #DHIS2022 #telehealth #patientfirst pic.twitter.com/eXLiIF5Qhw

AND IT’S A WRAP!
Stellar panel to finish #DHIS2022 . @drterrysweeney insisting that we need to treat the healthcare consumer like the sports, entertainment, and retail industries do. Not only implementing change under the auspices of 'safety' but deliberately for convenience.

Boom!💥 pic.twitter.com/xULmyIN5kd
And that's a wrap! 👏👏👏 We are overwhelmed by the energy and enthusiasm we've all seen and received in the last two days, so thank you everyone for such a successful conference. Truly 🙏 Thank you!
