In this episode of Talking HealthTech, host Peter Birch leads a live stream discussion on the current state of analytics and interoperability in the Australian and New Zealand healthcare industry. The episode features guests Robbi Karp, CEO of Fluffy Spider Technologies, specialising in interoperability solutions, and Andrew Aho from InterSystems, a data platforms specialist. The conversation delves into the challenges and opportunities surrounding the adoption of new technology, interoperability, and data analytics in healthcare. The guests share insights from the "state of analytics and interoperability study" conducted by InterSystems, shedding light on the perspectives of healthcare executives in the Australia and New Zealand region.

Key Takeaways:

1. The resistance to change within the healthcare industry, driven by factors such as patient risk, regulation, and fear of poor outcomes, presents challenges for adopting new technology and achieving interoperability.

2. The importance of leveraging technology vendors and partner community for solutions and support in addressing the limitations and challenges of achieving interoperability and sharing data in electronic discharge summary delivery.

3. The need for government support to drive data openness and standardisation for the benefit of patient outcomes, overcoming resistance to change within healthcare and technology providers.

4. The significance of aligning data strategy with organisational objectives and choosing technology partners with a rich ecosystem to drive progress in Australian healthcare.
