REVOLUTIONIZING HEALTHCARE WITH DIGITAL HEALTH
EXPLORING THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE DELIVERY
2
The Digital Health Agency has granted funding to
health experts so that it can help the ACCHS in
NSW by providing resources and expertise in
digital health technology so that they can offer
the Aboriginal communities high-quality
healthcare services. Consider digital health to
be more than just a gimmick rather, it is an
essential component of our business that enables
us to carry out our mission of enhancing the
well-being of the Aboriginal community and
extending life.

Using digital health technologies has several
advantages, such as

• Increased effectiveness By lowering paperwork,
  enhancing communication, and simplifying the
  access process, digital health technology can
  contribute to an increase in the effectiveness of
  healthcare.
• Increased quality By giving doctors access to
  more patient data, enabling remote patient
  monitoring, and giving patients access to
  training materials, digital health technology can
  assist to raise the standard of care.
• Improved accessibility Regardless of a person's
  location or financial situation, digital health
  technology can make healthcare more accessible by
  making it simpler for people to receive care.

Even if there are a lot of potential advantages
to digital health, there are certain issues that
must be resolved, such as

• Security Security is a major concern with
  digital health technologies, as patient data is
  often stored on these devices.
• Interoperability Different digital health
  technologies often do not work together, making
  it difficult for patients to share their data
  with their healthcare providers.
• Digital literacy Aboriginal people may have
  lower levels of digital literacy than other
  Australians, which can make it difficult for them
  to use digital health technologies.
• Cultural appropriateness Digital health
  technologies need to be culturally appropriate
  for Aboriginal people. This means that they need
  to be designed in a way that is respectful of
  Aboriginal culture and values.
• Adoption There is a need to increase the
  adoption of digital health technologies by both
  healthcare providers and patients.

Aiming to improve the quality and sustainability
of health and care, the National Digital Health
Strategy identified seven strategic targets that
are encompassed by the umbrella term "digital
health." By highlighting the four divisions in
the strategy's implementation for NSW's
Aboriginal communities. These divisions are

• My Health Record
• Electronic Prescription
• High-quality data
• Telehealth.
