Dr Jean-Frederic Levesque, Deputy Secretary Clinical Innovation and Research and ACI Chief Executive, spoke on the value of Patient Reported Measures to provide a holistic picture of patients' healthcare needs.
Matthew Daly, Deputy Secretary, System Sustainability and Performance, focused on the ways virtual care solutions can improve patient care, access, experience and outcomes.
The session also featured a panel discussion with Deputy Secretary, People, Culture and Governance, Phil Minns, Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer, Jacqui Cross and Dean of Medicine and Health, and Scientia Professor at University of NSW Prof Vlado Perkovic. They explored the challenges and opportunities that digital technology presents for our current and future healthcare workforce.
