Fixing healthcare’s data problem: Why connected care matters more than ever

Farhoud Salimi , Chief Technology Officer of Telstra Health discusses the growing challenge of data fragmentation across the healthcare sector and why improving interoperability has become critical to delivering better patient outcomes.

Despite the widespread adoption of electronic health records, much of the industry’s data remains locked in disconnected systems, creating inefficiencies for clinicians and a frustrating experience for patients.

Farhoud explains how advances in cloud infrastructure, maturing industry standards and evolving policy settings are helping healthcare providers share information more effectively across departments and organisations.

As healthcare generates an enormous volume of data, the ability to securely connect systems and provide clinicians with a complete view of a patient’s history is becoming increasingly important for improving care, reducing duplication and supporting faster decision making.

The conversation also explores the role of artificial intelligence in healthcare and the importance of trusted, high quality data.

Farhoud shares how Telstra Health’s Corus™ platform is helping create a connected care ecosystem that enables clinicians to access governed insights while remaining at the centre of every decision.

The result is a more proactive, preventative approach to healthcare that benefits both providers and patients.
