The Father of FHIR 🔥 & Healthcare’s Big Chance at Interoperability | Grahame Grieve

By JESSICA DAMASSA, WTF HEALTH

A few weeks ago, WTF Health took the show on the road to Australia’s digital health conference, HIC 2019. We captured more than 30 interviews (!) from the conference, which is run by the Health Informatics Society of Australia (hence the HISA Studio branding) and I had the opportunity to chat with most of the Australian Digital Health Agency’s leadership, many administrators from the country’s largest health systems, and a number of health informaticians, clinicians, and patients. I’ll be spotlighting a few of my favorites here in a four-part series to give you a flavor of what’s happening in health innovation ‘Down Under.’ For much more, check out all the videos on the playlist here.  

I’d like to kick off the series with my interview on all things interoperability with arguably the most famous Australian in health tech, Grahame Grieve. 

Grahame Grieve, “the Father of FHIR” architected healthcare’s best shot at EMR data interoperability when he founded HL7’s Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), but have you heard what prompted Grahame to pursue creating a common standard for electronic health data exchange in the first place? Grahame shares the surprisingly personal and emotional story and weighs in how he thinks FHIR adoption is going so far. If your business has anything to do with health IT, EMR, or healthcare’s play in big data, be sure to tune in to find out what’s next for FHIR, whether or not Big Tech’s new role in healthcare can help speed up adoption, and if Grahame thinks we’ll ever finally solve healthcare’s interoperability problem.

EMR Euphoria: All New Zealanders Have Digital Health Records | Kevin Ross, Orion Health

By JESSICA DAMASSA, WTF HEALTH

Nearly ALL of New Zealand’s population of 4.5 billion people have digital health records, many of which hold 10-20 years of patient data. Is this EMR euphoria?! Kevin Ross, Director of Research for Orion Health and CEO of Precision Driven Health, dishes about all the cool things you can do when everyone’s patient data is available to analysis at the population level. Some projects already in the works? A calculator to determine readmission risk and a tool to assist prioritization for triage doctors.

A Patient Advocate’s Tips for Creating Equity | Gillian Mason, University of Newcastle

By JESSICA DAMASSA, WTF HEALTH

Imagine working full-time, finding health services, visiting multiple clinicians a week, and coordinating your health information. This is the reality of patients with one or more serious health conditions. Patients can have a lot on their plate, and sociocultural factors are often the cause to why patients may not follow their doctor’s orders. That’s why Gillian Mason, patient advocate and physio-rehabilitation researcher at the University of Newcastle, emphasizes looking from the patient perspective. How does she think we can better enable patients’ access to health services? Is the answer from Australia (and its nationalized healthcare system) DIFFERENT than it is when you ask patients in the U.S.? Tune in to find out!

Healthcare’s ‘Copernican Moment’, Value-Based Health & The Future| Lucien Engelen, Transform.Health

By JESSICA DAMASSA, WTF HEALTH

Is a de-centralized, democratized tech-enabled health system closer than we think? Lucien Engelen, CEO of Transform.Health and Fellow for Deloitte Center for the Edge, talks about the Copernican moment in healthcare: when the industry realizes the world revolves around the patient and NOT the health system. How are the Big Tech companies like Apple, Amazon, and Google (who are sooo good at giving us what we want, when we want it, from the palm of our hand) helping to shift this reorientation of universal order and better empower health consumers? Listen in to find out….

A Change Management Guru’s Guide to Working with Clinicians | Dr. Margaret Kennedy, Gevity Inc.

By JESSICA DAMASSA, WTF HEALTH

One of the biggest challenges clinicians face in delivering good care is keeping up with today’s up-and-coming revolutionary health technology. Dr. Margaret Kennedy, Chief Nursing Informatics Officer at Gevity Consulting, is often charged with helping health systems change clinicians’ perspectives when it comes to digital health and tech. So, what has she learned? Among other things, it turns out that some clinicians are more inclined to accept technological change than others. Are there certain traits these ‘early adopters’ have in common? Or does it have to do with the way the healthcare organization sells the tech’s value prop? Hint, hint: You can never go wrong when you can appeal to a clinician’s desire to provide better care.

Health in 2 Point 00 Episode 92, Takeover Edition | Louise Schaper, HIC 2019 Australia

• 1

Today on Health in 2 Point 00, we have another takeover edition! On Episode 92, Jess talks to Louise Schaper, CEO of the Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) at HIC 2019. Louise’s key takeaway from the conference is that health tech in Australia is focused on humanity and improving outcomes for all people. Jess also asks Louise about the Australian Digital Health Agency’s MyHealthRecord, an online summary of individuals’ health information. It’s got a great participation rate with 90% of Australians opted in, but it’s not being utilized as much as it could be. Finally, Louise debunks some of the chatter around HealthEngine’s data scandal in which they were caught sharing health data with law firms. The thing is, the press has sold it as if they have full access to your medical data and has sold that, but that’s not the case.
