Domain E: Technology – Organisational Readiness

Domain capability statement: Health workers confidently use, critique, and troubleshoot a range of digital health devices, applications, and software to deliver safe, consumer-centric services.

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.
