Message from the CEO: The Institute is fortunate to lead and collaborate with one of the largest bodies of knowledge in digital health and health informatics around the globe – our Fellows and Members.
Working across healthcare, research, industry and government, together our members represent the future of healthcare for Australia. The Institute is proud to be a forum where we can challenge old thinking, give rise to new and creative ideas and advocate for new ways of working in healthcare. We love leaders with ideas!
I n this week’s e-news, deputy chair of Queensland branch Susan Smith, NSW branch committee member Ali Besiso and Nursing and Midwifery CoP committee member Alan Scanlon all raise some interesting points in their fields of professional expertise.
If you have a passion to be a digital health leader and change agent, you may wish to consider nominating for the Board, or locally within your state branch. Nominations for the next Board elections close on Thursday 21 July 2022. I hope you will consider putting your hand up to be part of the next generation of digital health leaders.

EXPERT VIEW
Health data sharing and governance: Australian health data and clinical informatics leader, AIDH Fellow Susan Smith, who has spent more than 30 years working in health and medical science, says health data sharing and governance is increasingly a hot topic. Susan, who is also deputy chair of AIDH Queensland branch, says the scientific and research community have established the FAIR data principles to facilitate scientific research data re-use, but these are now being increasingly applied to the re-use of health data more generally.

Co-design: What does it really look like in practice?
NSW Branch leader Ali Besiso says people often have an image in their minds of what co-design is and what it looks like.
“That visual is often of a creative setting with whiteboards, or perhaps in the minds of the more tech-savvy, touch screens, with silicon-valley-styled professionals debating ideas and moving objects around a mind map or user interface design on the screen,” says Ali. “Perhaps even a small buffet of drinks and snacks somewhere in the corner of that setting. In essence, that general image is closer to something you might see around the offices of the high-flying giants of Apple, Google, or Microsoft.”
But how does it work in a hospital?

COMMUNITY SURVEY
Cloud Adoption Readiness
AIDH is working in partnership with Fujitsu to understand more about Cloud Adoption Readiness in the health ecosystem.
We are collaborating on a survey to be shared with our community so we can learn more, understand the issues and shortcomings and celebrate the wins. As we move forward to a more digitally enabled workforce, we will have gained valuable insights into where Australasia is placed compared to our global community.
The results of the survey will be shared at the Digital Health Summit in Sydney, in October 2022. We look forward to hearing your insights and working together to create healthier lives, digitally enabled.
