Innovation strategies in healthcare and HISA Queensland AGM


Creativity and innovation are an important aspect of healthcare and none more so than with the change of population demographic taking place.

With an ageing population, a shrinking younger population, growing knowledge of the developing countries, Australia needs to continue to innovate and be a society of measured risk takers. This process is in need of further understanding if we are to advance in e-health. 
Program

5.00pm - Crowdfunding - How to embrace it and use it

Funding for your e-health idea – a crowd funding approach to gather investors, for example what has been achieved with “Fitbit”. International speaker Paul Niederer will provide further clarity surrounding this process.


Paul Niederer is one of world’s leading authorities in equity based crowdfunding investments and raising's. He has personally been involved in over $75 million of transactions with 90 different companies seeking capital. With the intense interest worldwide in the Crowdfunding Platforms, regulations and raising's, Paul is involved in consulting to a number of organisations and governments on how to structure their funding portals, processes and regulations to have successful raises with a fair deal for investors. Paul lives south of Brisbane on Australia’s eastern coast and relishes the opportunity to discuss peer to peer finance developments and any moves towards the democratisation of capital.


5.20pm - 
How your information system can be used more effectively
International speaker, Prof Andrew Burton-Jones, University of Queensland Business School, will advance your knowledge on reducing risk in e-health ICT systems when integrated with EHR and will provide practical examples.

He graduated from UQ’s Commerce program in 1998 and worked for several years in IT risk management for one of the Big-4 accounting/consulting firms. He subsequently completed his PhD at Georgia State University in Atlanta, USA, and served on the faculty of the University of British Columbia, Canada, before returning to UQ in 2012. His research focuses on learning how organisations can use information systems more effectively. For example, he recently completed a large case study of the effective use of electronic health records in community-care in British Columbia, Canada.


5.40pm - To market, to market: Promoting personalised healthcare
