The Australian Digital Health Agency (the Agency) today welcomed the inaugural annual report of the Council for Connected Care (the Council), a multi-stakeholder advisory group that provides strategic guidance and direction on how to improve health outcomes for Australians through a more interoperable digital health system.
Agency CEO Amanda Cattermole PSM said the Council has been instrumental in fostering a culture of collaboration in the digital healthcare sector in driving the interoperability agenda.
"The Council for Connected Care has been a catalyst for change and a champion for healthcare interoperability. It has brought together an outstanding group of leaders who share a common vision of a more connected and integrated healthcare system," Ms Cattermole said.
All Australians expect a healthcare system where information is shared safely, securely and seamlessly with the right people at the right time to deliver the best clinical outcomes.
