Part 1: Leadership unravelled: lessons drawn from implementing healthcare innovations

In a rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, innovation is crucial for improving patient outcomes, optimizing operational efficiency, and addressing emerging challenges related to the provision of healthcare. There are various dimensions, frameworks or lenses through which leadership can be explored. These include: strategic, adaptive, dispersed and transformational leadership to name a few. Leadership plays a pivotal role in driving and sustaining innovation within healthcare organizations by developing and encouraging aspects such as vision, strategic direction, transformation, resource allocation, communication, engagement to name a few.

Part 2: Creating an integrated electronic health record data platform for revolutionising healthcare improvement

Despite there being more electronic health data than ever before, information remains siloed, poorly integrated and underutilised, leading to failures to optimally use these data for healthcare improvement. Our ground-breaking National Centre for Healthy Ageing Data Platform, crafted by our diverse team—comprising clinicians, engineers, epidemiologists, and implementation scientists has broken down these silos, seamlessly integrating information, and unlocking the power within these data for healthcare improvement. Through real-world use cases tailored to ageing populations, we will showcase the transformative impact of our model. More than just a local initiative, we will showcase a model with the capacity to scale globally, offering a blueprint for healthcare improvement on an international scale.
