PRESENTATIONS
This page provides an overview of some of the ehealth presentations produced in-house that relate to BLICT's products and services. Please note that only a selection of the slides are given without supportive notes and handouts since this is for illustration purposes. Videos and interactive graphics slides that make up the full presentations have been omitted.
“Stopped in your tracks” – mitigating potential health ICT showstoppers Invited Keynote for the Annual State Conference 2008 of the Australian College of Heath Services Executive (ACHSE) - QLD, Gold Coast. May 2008.Health is not exempt from ICT failures. Why should this be otherwise? Surveys continue to report that a high proportion of ICT projects fail to meet their targeted benefits or prove unsuccessful in some measure (Standish claim as high as 66%). When you add the complexity of today’s healthcare services then claims that as much as 75% of eHealth projects fail to fully deliver what they promise is understandable and possibly plausible. Understandable but not necessarily acceptable. Post mortem analysis shows that many such failures to deliver could have been avoided. This raises the question: have our health leaders adequately address concerns that have shown to be potential showstoppers for key projects?Abstract: 270Kb PDF, CLICK HERE...

Privacy and Security in National e-Health Systems Invited presenter for IACITS-2007: 3rd Indo-Australian Conference on Information Technology Security, 9th -10th July 2007, Information Security Institute, QUT, Brisbane. With the fast developing movement towards e-services in the healthcare sector worldwide there is a need to urgently consider the emerging Privacy and Security issues. Many countries are at a turning point where concerns regarding privacy legislation, standardization and implementation constraints are converging at the same time as the planned introduction of unified electronic healthcare records. Consideration of all aspects of these concerns has taken on an urgent impetus. These developments have acted as a catalyst to launch national symposiums, large-scale projects and government initiatives to move towards promoting some unified solutions to address an area which is proving to be both complex and emotive. The concerns of Privacy and Security are much wider than just the Electronic Health Record as the ubiquitous nature of today’s technology also has implications for telehealth, smart homes and assistive technologies, tracking and locating devices, prescription monitoring, healthcare asset management, etc. Evidence has shown that too restrictive an approach to cater for privacy is already raising concerns for the future of medical research studies reliant on secondary use of health data, whereas too much reliance on commodity software solutions is causing a backlash over security concerns. This talk will identify the key privacy and security issues that need to be researched to ensure e-health acceptance which is deemed necessary before widespread adoption at the national level.

Assistive technologies for the frail elderly, chronic illness sufferers and people with disabilities – a case study of the development of a Smart Home Presented at the 18th Australasian Conference on Information Systems, 5-7 Dec 2007, Toowoomba. This presentation reports on initial stages of a case study of building a consortium to undertake research into advanced technologies and telecommunications that support the notion of an assisted care ‘Smart Home’. The aim is to through research and development to provide greater independence, improved quality of life and reduce unnecessary hospital admission for the dependant being cared for in their own homes including the frail elderly, chronic illness sufferers and people with disabilities. The primary outcome is the intent to support families and professional carers, reduce costs and, where possible, identify commercial opportunities for new products and services. Queensland Smart Home Initiative (QSHI) is discussed as a case study together with the Consortium’s first Smart Home at an aged care facility in Queensland, Australia.

From Mathematics to Management – Privacy and Security Risks with Electronic Health Data Integration Invited Keynote for the Annual State Conference 2006 of the Australian College of Heath Services Executive (ACHSE) - QLD, Gold Coast. May 2008. Information Technology makes extensive use of complex mathematical techniques to protect data. This includes both encryption and statistical analysis (e.g. the probability of back tracking with de-identified data or the probability of adverse incidences occurring). All the mathematics is pointless if the system is not well managed. Do health managers understand the maths? Should they have to? This non-technical talk looks at the findings of the various risks that data integration presents to today’s health managers. Abstract: 66Kb PDF, CLICK HERE...
