4. Background RADICALLY IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES THROUGH THE ENABLERS OF ICT, INNOVATION AND COLLABORATION VISION SUSTAINABLE HEALTH INTELLIGENT HEALTH STRATEGIC PRIORITY Health expenditure some $130.3b pa:9.3% GDP – some $6,000 per Australian Expenditure on public hospitals some$31.5% of total recurrent expenditure; 18.2% is on medical services and 14.9% on medications Expenditure on public hospitals and medications are the fastest growing 69.1% of expenditure funded by Government. 30.9% funded by non-government(households, private health funds) Prices in the health sector have grown quicker than broader economy over past 10 years. Bottom Line: Australia's health care bill continues to rise and with rapidly ageing population the represents a real financial risk for the future Technology has had a significant impact on the health sector. From new testing techniques to surgical equipment and mobile and remote services and diagnostic tools, todays healthcare system is very different to that just 10 years ago. By providing access to medical and health information, medical advice and services and online support groups, the Internet has made it possible for patients to access a much broader range of information about their health and healthcare options and assume a much greater responsibility over their healthcare decisions. The nature of the patient-doctor relationship has changed and patients have increasing expectations of quality health services and outcomes. To this end the role of health informatics is becoming increasingly critical to healthcare decision making and delivery of services.
5. Areas of Focus SUSTAINABLE HEALTH Priority areas where ICT contribute to making healthcare delivery and services more efficient and hence sustainable INTELLIGENT HEALTH Priority areas where ICT can contribute to improving the quality of healthcare services, decision making and outcomes Modernising Health Business Models Existing health business models are fragmented and stifle innovation. Typically they do not support end to end patient care and management - with different parts of the process subject to different funding and compliance arrangements. ICT can help improve workflows and productivity Quality Outcomes: Big Data/Smart Questions and Data Analytics Big Data offers potential to inform population health and individual health decisions, inform care pathways and service and service planning decisions. With the plethora of information available, the challenge now is to shift through and use relevant information to make informed care decisions. Telehealth and Telemonitoring Offers efficient, alternative options for patients to access health services and expertise and health practitioners efficient and remunerable options to support patients remotely Current telehealth arrangements are hamstrung by poor policy and practices. Health Services Innovation: Smart Devices, Infrastructure and Customer Applications New digital technologies provide opportunities to manage chronic health conditions continuously, remotely and in real time. New applications enable citizens to be more proactive manage their health be take preventative healthcare measures. Adoption of Cloud Services Cloud services offer small health practices in particular, the opportunity to access modern and cost competitive technology platforms, infrastructure and applications. Ongoing Support for PCEHR agenda & Optimal Care Pathways AIIA will continue to support the rollout of the PCEHR through its participation in relevant committees and forums and through the provision of appropriate industry support.
