Executive Summary | Introduction to the Digital Strategy
The imperatives for continuous digital technology investments
1
Our local aspirations 4
Diverse district, distinct challenges Demographic factors, such as a growing and ageing population and distinct socioeconomic differences, mean our communities require a tailored approach to healthcare delivery. Continuing to leverage digital technologies holds the key to providing quality and sustainable services while evolving our models of care.
A great experience for our patients
Digital Strategy Objective
Making virtual care universal where appropriate
The Digital Strategy 2021-2026 sets the technology vision and focus areas for our LHD over the next five years and articulates a roadmap to achieve this vision. This document should be used as a guide for priorities, a way to plan the project pipeline and a reference point for proposed work. Significant improvements in technology have helped NSLHD provide better health outcomes for our population. However, much has changed since the last IT plan released in 2016. By more effectively leveraging technology, we can deliver affordable and accessible patient-centred care, improve the overall health of our communities, engage and develop our workforce and ensure our organisation is agile and insights driven fuelled by real time access to data. To meet these aspirations, and to ensure that future digital investments enable our LHD Strategic Plan in line with the statewide NSW Health strategies, now is the right time to refresh our Digital Strategy.
An empowered and mobile workforce
