Synopsis The Royal Children’s Hospital welcomes patients from all over our beautiful country for cardiac treatment, but we also acknowledge that this can be a frightening time for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families that can bring up feelings of fear, sadness, homesickness, and isolation. Many of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait … Continued
Join us for a dynamic presentation showcasing the transformative journey of the Clinical Data Champion program at the Centre for Health Analytics (CHA). Led by Professor Jim Buttery and including Data Champions Katherine Frayman and Ann Le, and CHA Director Ross McKenzie, we’ll explore the program’s inception, evolution, and sustainability efforts.
Join us for a panel discussion to explore how integrating the voices of children and their parents can transform the work we do in mental health. We will share our projects and insights, emphasising the impact of lived experience on the supports and resources we create. We will discuss practical insights for supporting lived experience in research, knowledge translation and clinical practice and challenge current assumptions to reshape mental health resources and how they are created.
How are artificial intelligence, big data, and minimally invasive technologies changing the way we diagnose and treat children with drug-resistant epilepsies?
In recognition of Allied Health Professions Day 2023, this year’s RCH Allied Health Grand Round explores future opportunities for Allied Health to harness and build upon digital learning and capability in the delivery of high-quality patient care. Going beyond the electronic medical record, our line-up of expert presenters will highlight the scope of digital health possibilities within allied health practice with a key focus on the themes of collaboration and co-design, audience reach and sustainability.
This Grand Round, in the lead up to Child Protection Week 3-9th September, will focus on how as a health service we can identify children who are at risk of missing out on essential medical care. Each year at RCH thousands of health care encounters are missed when children and young people are not brought for scheduled appointments. For some children this can lead to harm, and rarely even have fatal consequences. As a health service we need to consider what the impacts are for these children and be aware of our role in reducing the risk of harm in this vulnerable group.
The Centre for Health Analytics launched to the Campus in June 2021. With two years of enabling the Campus to better use our data, the Centre will share successes and lessons learned across their journey.
The healthcare informatics landscape is changing rapidly as the pandemic accelerated digital health trends like virtual care, remote patient monitoring, and artificial intelligence-enabled clinical decision support. In this presentation, Dr. Chris Longhurst, Chief Medical and Digital Officer at UC San Diego Health, will share how these tools can support the journey to a highly reliable learning health system.
This Grand Round will consider how human-centered design, applied to the health system and informed by a health-literacy framework, may help advance health equity. We will review evidence that includes inter-disciplinary scholarship (e.g., behavioral science, computer science, clinical epidemiology) in the areas of obesity prevention, promoting school readiness, chronic-illness management and the care of children with special health care needs.
The term ‘learning health systems’ is not new. But widespread consensus that learning is crucial for health system performance is not matched by shared understanding of how health systems learn. The speaker will present ideas for such shared understanding based on a recent report by the WHO’s Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research.
