Across two exciting days in Melbourne, RLDatix’s People Summit Asia-Pacific 2024 brought together over 160 delegates from six countries, representing hospitals, aged care and healthcare. Their shared goals? To connect, share ideas and drive conversations around workforce, governance and risk management.
The event explored why our shared mission to deliver high-quality, safe and sustainable care is underpinned by connectivity at the heart of it all. By connecting people, information, and organisations, we can enhance patient outcomes and create a more efficient and effective healthcare system.
The Summit kicked off with an inspiring life lesson from Justin Jones, an Australian adventurer and explorer whose exploits include becoming the first person to ski unassisted from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole, and back. Justin emphasised the key role of communication and planning in any successful mission, whether for the next big project in aged care, healthcare or our daily lives.
Throughout the Summit, three key focus topics were explored:
- Workforce Management: Strategies for optimising staffing, improving employee satisfaction, and ensuring the right people are in the right roles.
- Governance & Risk Management: Discussions on effective governance structures, risk mitigation, and compliance.
- Digital Technology & Data Insights: Insights into leveraging technology and data to enhance healthcare delivery and decision-making
