IT Innovations in General Practice - Better Healthcare from Collaboration & Sharing of Information Pre-conference Workshop (Repeated)  Thursday, 12 June 2014 Start 8:30am Duration: 120mins Room 1 Start 11:00am Duration: 120mins Room 1 As part of the ‘IT Innovations in General Practice’ Workshop, Kate and Mark will take participants through a real patient’s journey through our health system. This journey highlights the myriad of challenges facing patients and health care professionals in trying to achieve optimal clinical outcomes. GPs are a critical part of this journey, as the healthcare professionals who have the most regular contact with patients. GPs are also the initiators of relationships with other professionals, such as pharmacists, public and private specialists, and allied health providers. Efficient interaction between all healthcare professionals helps provide seamless and improved care for any one patient. A solution that supports this collaboration and sharing of information is vital to the delivery of better healthcare, medicines adherence and patient outcomes. Drawing on their combined expertise and in-depth knowledge of patient behaviours and health IT, Kate and Mark will re-create the patient journey to demonstrate the potential for better healthcare outcomes through increased collaboration, shared responsibility and the secure, and efficient sharing of information.
