Australia has presented a roadmap for the digitalisation of health care. She is far from Russia
On 21 December 2023, the Australian Department of Health and Senior Care (DOHAC) unveiled a ten-year programme to digitalise the healthcare industry. This large-scale initiative is expected to increase the efficiency of medical institutions, reduce the burden on employees and improve the quality of patient care. However, in terms of the development of digital health care, Australia is far from Russia.
The DOHAC roadmap has been prepared taking into account the recommendations and wishes of market participants, including clinical health care providers, consumers and staff of health care institutions. The DOHAC program, covering the period from 2023 to 2033, has three main goals:
- Health information digitally should accompany Australians along the lifeline, allowing citizens to make informed decisions related to their health;
- Employees of medical institutions should have access to comprehensive information on the health of patients in real time directly at the point of care;
- Digital health data should be used as effectively as possible to improve patient care, including the development of new treatments.
In the 2023 budget, the Australian government provided for investments in digital health care worth about $640 million over four years. The DOHAC roadmap will be updated regularly to outline progress made and include new investments in digital technology and data. At the same time, Australia lags behind Russia, where digital transformation remains one of the key priorities for the development of the national health care system. In early December 2023, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation reported that specialized information systems are available in almost all medical organizations of the country. New projects are being created aimed at personalizing medicine, and the number of medical electronic documents being formed in the Russian Federation by the end of 2023 exceeds 5 million units per day. At the same time, in Australia, in contrast to the Russian Federation, there is no single system of electronic registration with doctors in state-owned clinics.[1]
