APACMed/MTAA Health Data Summit

Overview

The future of healthcare will be anchored by insights and outcomes derived from health data and there are significant opportunities for a healthcare ecosystem that is increasingly connected. Health data is needed to achieve a more sustainable, efficient and equitable ecosystem which is a priority for governments in APAC. Robust interoperability and cybersecurity frameworks are needed to enable greater access to health data which is currently fragmented and resides with different stakeholders (governments, hospitals, medtech and software companies, patients).

Australia’s healthcare system has a good track record of developing and adopting digital health technologies to improve healthcare delivery. The digitalisation of healthcare is also rapidly increasing the volume of available data but that adds to the complexity of data ownership with corresponding challenges in interoperability standards and cybersecurity regulations. There are opportunities to leverage health data and enable data sharing to derive patient insights, allowing the government to manage population health and support innovation by industry.

We propose a closed-door workshop with policymakers to share the value of health data and discuss the current health data governance challenges and explore how government and industry can collaborate to harness health data and unlock the full benefits for patients in Australia.
