PTA-C/24 saw more than 160 healthcare stakeholders from a broad cross section come together for 2 days to examine the role of technology in addressing 3 key challenges facing healthcare in Australia:
- Does your postcode dictate your healthcare outcome?
- Have we been left behind in the technology race?
- How can technology address some of the biggest issues facing Australians and our health?
The outcomes from PTA-C/24 continue to reverberate in the healthcare ecosystem.
The format of PTA-C and the data driven activities were lauded as a unique and valuable model to follow for future events. A key benefit of data capture during the Congress is the consensus-driven communique. The power in this consensus comes from diverse representation of major healthcare stakeholders, adding weight to the observations and recommendations.
The Minister for Health, Mark Butler MP and the shadow minister, Senator Anne Ruston, both requested copies of this report reinforcing the growing call for a paradigm change in the way healthcare is delivered in Australia.
