Cisco Systems Australia

Gold Sponsor

Communications is one of the most significant challenges to improving the delivery of care into our increasingly complex healthcare system. The engagement of individuals and teams, the effective distribution of information and the coordination of resources, are major hurdles that need to be overcome.  Cisco has been working alongside care providers and technologists in the Australian healthcare system to deliver the tools that allow clinicians and managers to reach out and communicate with individuals, to bring together dynamic teams encompassing providers, patients and carers, and to share clinical information in the way the clinician and patient prefers, by voice, video, files or persistent chat.   Our focus is to integrate communications into the workflow of care, removing complexity.  We look to engage the patient and clinician more deeply into the care delivery process, and in doing so, provide better options for more individualised patient centred care.  Go to https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collaboration/healthcare.html  and find out more about how Cisco assists in the delivery of care through our collaboration systems.

Commonwealth Department of Health

Bronze Sponsor

The Australian Government is continuing to examine ways to modernise our health system. 

The Department of Health supports the Government and stakeholders to lead and shape Australia’s health and aged care system and sporting outcomes through evidence-based policy, well targeted programs and best practice regulation. 

The Government supports Australians’ access to high quality, timely, and affordable health care by providing subsidies through the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS). The Government recognises the potential of telehealth to deliver better health care services and health outcomes for eligible patients. The use of telehealth can reduce barriers to patient access to services based on geographical isolation, travel time, cost and other resources. The number of Medicare eligible telehealth services continues to expand.
