The AMA Federal Council in July adopted the AMA Position Statement on System Interoperability in Healthcare.
Following the adoption and publication of the AMA Vision for Digital Health earlier this year, this new AMA position statement further elaborates on what the AMA sees as the key priority for the future of digital health in Australia.
The AMA position statement articulates the AMA support for a more connected healthcare system that will enable more equitable access to medical care. It calls for interoperability across intersecting health and human services sectors, including acute care, primary care, allied health, community care, as well as aged and disability services, in order to achieve more efficient and effective methods of healthcare delivery and enable whole of person care.
