CONTROLLING COSTS, IMPROVING OUTCOMES

FutureHealth Forum Australia brings together health ministries, key authorities, and hospitals to discuss the role of technology in sustainably improving patient care and clinical outcomes. Our hospitals are challenged by an ageing population, new disease patterns brought about by rising incomes, and the increasing cost of the latest clinical procedures – which is why attendees at FutureHealth Forum Australia will be meeting with their international counterparts and industry peers to look for answers to the following questions:

  • What impact will a new generation of mobile devices have on hospital procedures?
  • How can hospitals benefit from real-time insights from healthcare analytics?
  • What does patient-centric care planning and monitoring look like?
  • How do you optimise patient flow & resource allocation?
  • Where are the low-hanging fruit for maximising staff productivity & minimising clinician fatigue?

Effective use of IT will transform the way hospitals manage, monitor and deliver patient care. FutureHealth Forum Australia brings together chief executives and senior decision makers from some of the country’s most forward-looking hospitals and key authorities.
