Workforce on the agenda

One of the hot topics for the congress is the strategic imperative to digitally enable the health workforce. The challenges confronting the global healthcare workforce, and the link to our digital future, will be addressed by keynote speakers, workshops and presentations.

Australia鈥檚 health system faces an aging population, increasing consumer expectations and continuing pressures on Australia鈥檚 health workforce. In the face of these challenges, digital health is transforming the way that many patients manage their health and driving change in the delivery of health services.

and AIDH announced in late聽2022 they would be working in partnership with key stakeholders from across the health ecosystem on the Capability Action Plan (CAP), designed to support Australia鈥檚 health workforce to continue to develop the skills they need to deliver the best care for Australians in an increasingly digital world.

The CAP sets out priority actions that are required across the workforce to respond to the needs of consumers, now and in the future. Under the CAP, the Agency and AIDH will work together over the next two years to support healthcare workers to deliver virtual and connected care to Australians by equipping them with the tools and capabilities that they need to operate as effectively as possible in this rapidly evolving environment.

AIDH CEO Dr Louise Schaper said the Institute鈥檚 primary focus for the last four years has been advancing the digital capability of the health workforce.

鈥淭he Institute, its Fellows and Members already work with many health professions on workforce advancement, through accreditation and training, with programs that start with the basics of digital health to more advanced workforce-based programs.

鈥淭he nursing and midwifery workforce has started to upskill by assessing capability in public and private sectors and creating a starting point to build programs for education and training. It鈥檚 time to take this to all health professions on a larger scale,鈥� she said.

The CAP, which can be found at , is a two-year program of work that sets out the initiatives including working towards standard capability frameworks, guidelines, resources and tools identified through previous work, planning and ongoing sector consultation to equip Australia鈥檚 health workforce for a connected, digitally enabled future.

The AIDH is inviting healthcare professionals to become members of the peak body. Fellows and Members of the AIDH聽represent a diverse range of professions involved in delivering health and social care. This includes health informaticians, clinicians, researchers, healthcare managers and executives, data analysts, designers, project managers, business analysts, technologists and innovators.

As a leading member of the global health informatics and digital health community, the Institute is also the forum for sharing international best practice, digital healthcare trends and health system innovation.
