Leading for Quality and Safety

Health Information Technology (HIT) is being widely adopted in many developed countries. With advances in technology happening at such a fast rate, it is easy to feel "behind the times". This track introduces new and innovative ways in which HIT can be utilised to improve quality and safety in health care.

Health Information Technology

Person Centred Care involves considering cultural, family and social circumstances as well as a patient's own values and preferences. It also concerns the expectation a patient has to receive unbiased information regarding benefits and risks when it comes to their care. This track looks at ways in which healthcare professionals can involve patients in their own care, giving the patient a sense of ownership and control at a time when they need it most.

Person Centred Care

External Evaluations Systems typically take the form of regulation, licensure, accreditation and certification.  This track introduces participants to ways in which these areas can be approached and implemented.
