Tackling patient flow in Queensland will take a coordinated effort, making strategic use of 4 key levers. In her speech at the annual DG Breakfast in Brisbane, Alcidion CEO Kate Quirke aptly described these methods, highlighting both the challenges and the way forward at a crucial moment for Queensland’s future.

Queensland Health has an ambitious 5 year plan, both in terms of meeting the needs of Queenslanders and in supporting and growing the healthcare workforce. Underpinning this is the need to increase the efficiency in getting patients either home or into the appropriate care scenario to meet their needs.

The solutions? Strategic approaches to real time capacity visibility, early discharge planning, outlier resolution and a shift from facility-wide to system-wide collaboration.

"The key is to make the right thing to do, the easy thing to do" Kate said, "through which care coordination becomes seamless rather than requiring extraordinary individual efforts".

"We're about to see healthcare models that have remained unchanged since the Napoleonic era completely transformed."

In Part 2 of our Insights Series, Non-Executive Director Will Smart shares his vision for how emerging technologies will transform clinical practice over the next decade.

Together with Alcidion Chair Rebecca Wilson, he discusses:
- How emerging technologies are reshaping the healthcare landscape, and bringing human connection back to patient consultations
- The impact of AI and how it will amplify, rather than replace, clinical skills
- His vision for proactive healthcare using wearables and remote monitoring to move care from hospitals into patients' homes
- Guidance for healthcare administrators on selecting digital health solutions that break down silos rather than create new ones

📝A key takeaway from Will:
"Focus on the problem, identify the outcomes, buy the future, not the past. Buy solutions that are based on modern technology standards, that are open, that use data standards appropriately, and are capable of joining up the health system."

🏥 Last week members of our Product & Engineering teams presented at the Sparked Testing event in Brisbane.

As part of the Sparked Patient Summary project, we're helping develop crucial FHIR-based standards that will enable better healthcare across Australia. This work directly supports patient care by allowing seamless, secure sharing of health information between providers.

The international significance of this work cannot be overstated - following the G7 nations' 2021 commitment to adopt International Patient Summary standards, countries including Australia, the EU, USA, Canada, and New Zealand are actively driving adoption to improve cross-border healthcare.

Chris Threlfo and John Colombo did an incredible job demonstrating Miya Precision’s capabilities in this space, and how we’re working with the new AU Core Data set – well done.👏

Does the NHS need a single record? Or a platform? Or both? 💭

More than 6 in 10 UK citizens believe their history is already in a single repository, but a somewhat different reality is known to most people working in the health service.

💡In his latest article Dr Paul Deffley, Alcidion Chief Medical Officer and former NHS commissioning professional explores how emerging AI could transform patient records from passive databases into active clinical allies. With £10bn committed for NHS digitisation and a single patient record promised in the upcoming plan, how do we avoid building "a vast digital filing cabinet that gathers dust"?

The efficiency gains are enormous when you consider how many hours clinicians currently spend searching for information rather than focusing on direct patient care.

New research in the Medical Journal of Australia shows remote patient monitoring (RPM) can significantly reduce mortality rates and shorten hospital stays by over 3.5 days on average.

Professor Clair Sullivan called these findings "a clarion call" for expanding remote patient monitoring beyond pandemic responses. RPM is a key technology component in enabling , hospital in the home programs ( ), and community-based care initiatives, with enormous potential to transform how we deliver care in Australia.

This research reinforces the benefits experienced at Sydney Local Health District and RPA Virtual Hospital - using Alcidion’s and the patient app, RPA Virtual has cared for to over 85,000 patients since 2020, with 90% rating their experience as very good or good. There is also research available for the cost efficiencies on care delivery with RPM.

The potential for remote patient monitoring to reshape Australian healthcare is enormous. The evidence shows it's not just a pandemic solution—it's the future of accessible, effective healthcare delivery.

📺 Insights Series with Will Smart

“Healthcare is the last analogue industry”

Transforming healthcare at scale requires a deep understanding of the complexities in delivering patient care and the potential for technology to support and improve patient outcomes.

In the first of a two-part interview, Alcidion Non-Executive Director Will Smart draws on over 30 years of frontline NHS experience to explain why standards-based data platforms and patient flow management are essential for the future of healthcare.

In conversation with Alcidion Chair, Rebecca Wilson (GAICD), Will discusses:

🔹 Why healthcare is 'the last analogue industry' and how Alcidion's standards-based approach enables data consolidation across fragmented systems
🔹 The reality of digital transformation and why deploying an EPR is just the beginning, not the end of the digitisation journey
🔹 What's driving the UK's frontline digitisation program and how AI and clinical decision support can arm clinicians with the right information at the right time
🔹 And more...

In Will’s words:

"Healthcare is the most important industry – we will all touch it at some point. It's important that we have services that are the best they can possibly be."
