Expertise applicable to eHealth related Research • Patient is now at the centre of healthcare and should not be seen as a passive observer of their health needs • Pharmacists with the use of technology will be able to manage medications and offer advice. • In an open prescribing landscape, the medication team will be able to ‘see’ other prescribing and improve safety for the patient. • With the advent of cloud technology, access to patient history across all health professionals reduces risk and shares the benefits for the patient.
Current eHealth related issues • State/Federal – Hospital (LHD)/Medicare (PHN) • NSW Health has invested heavily into an electronic system for managing their patient in hospital • http://www.ehealth.nsw.gov.au/programs/clinical/emr-connect/emeds • Federal government has continued funding for the Personal Health Record • https://myhealthrecord.gov.au/internet/mhr/publishing.nsf/content/home • Discharge of patients from acute care to community care – why is the communication so difficult? • Governments are concerned that patients are representing to the acute system after being discharged - can medication reconciliation and the use of liason pharmacists redress the avoidable admissions associated with medication misadventure?
