Domain E – Technology
Technology
Digital health technologies are increasingly providing improved recording and sharing of patient/consumer information, linked with continuity of care and decreased replication of data across the healthcare system. It is recognised that not all health workers have the same level of access to digital health technologies, but it must also be recognised that there is a focus on the digitisation of health nationally “as key to improving service delivery and health outcomes”. Technology is therefore an important domain in the delivery of a digitally capable health workforce.
There are three sub-domains within Domain E, Technology:
E.1 Appropriate Technologies
Understanding the variety of digital health technologies available and identifying appropriate options
E.2 Digital Health Controls
Understanding and demonstrating the use of effective controls to ensure safe and appropriate application of digital health solutions
E.3 Problem Solving and Feedback
Managing challenges that arise in the use of digital health technologies and providing feedback to inform future improvements
