Radio: Transforming Australia’s digital health services
This radio was broadcasted on 7th August, 2017 and the duration was 8 minutes 26
seconds. The prime agenda of this broadcast was to focus on the facility of digital health services
and how it has been helping the healthcare organization in several aspects. It features the
presenter known as Norman Swan and the guest of the event was Tim Kelsey, who is the CEO of
Australian Digital Health Agency. It talks about the transformation of Australian digital health
services that has been helping the people in several ways such as increasing treatment and care of
patients and reducing hospital admissions. The Council of Australian Governments (COAG)
Health Council has approved Australia’s National Digital Health Strategy (Hambleton &
Aloizos, 2019).
The clinical quality of these healthcare organizations will be elevated through elevating
the use of papers and doing health related work with the help of technological services, smart
phones, operating systems, online and use of clouds that will help in backing up data. All these
implementations have taken place after consultation sessions with clinicians, consumers, and
other professionals involved in healthcare systems. Health information technology is evolving
and it is coming with new features such as electronic prescriptions and medicines that does not
require manual effort (Lindgren, 2014).
This digital media contributes to best practice because it is an audible aid, which will help
the consumers in concentrating on what is being said without getting distracted due to visual
obstructions.
