Improving the patient journey through e-resources,:Wikis, modules for clinicians, the iHeard website and moreWednesday 17 July 11.00amChair: Prof Ian Olver Improving the patient journey through e-resources: Wikis, modules for clinicians, the iHeard website and more The increasing use of interactive web-based platforms has made providing and widely disseminating information to clinicians and patients easier. A major objective of cancer care is achieving a consistent approach to treatment using evidence based best practice. Written cancer clinical practice guidelines are difficult to update regularly, and have limitations in dissemination and stakeholder engagement. To overcome these issues, Cancer Council Australia has developed a web-based wiki platform for guidelines and evaluated its utility. Only invited expert authors have access to write the guidelines, but any stakeholder can comment upon them.

The Oncology JourneyWednesday 17 July 1.30pmChair: Prof Dorothy Keefe Safe prescribing of chemotherapy – the long, hard road to electronic prescribing Prescribing Chemotherapy for cancer patients is fraught with difficulty. The drugs used have major toxicities and any drug errors are potentially life-threatening. Protocols change regularly and new drugs and drug regimens are frequently introduced. The growth of indications for treatment, the increase in the incidence of cancer, the ageing population, the uneven growth in staff numbers, and differing interpretation of the academic literature all contribute to increasing risk of error. Electronic prescribing using agreed protocols is seen as a way of reducing error, increasing safety and allowing better review of practice. However the introduction of electronic prescribing is far from straightforward. Prof Dorothy Keefe SA Cancer Service Euan Walpole Princess Alexandra Hospital |

The consumer led revolution: mHealth, pHealth and the use of interactive digital technologies for health and wellnessWednesday 17 July 1.30pmChair: A/Prof Stuart Smith Interactive digital technologies for health and wellness In addition to the potential clinical applications, mHealth/pHealth technologies are now making available a range of tools that will significantly increase the amount of information that we can capture and share about ourselves such as the amount of physical activity we engage in, where we are going, who we interact with and how we are feeling. The Quantified Self (QS) movement aims to incorporate technology into data acquisition on aspects of a person's daily life in terms of inputs (e.g. food consumed, quality of surrounding air), states (e.g. mood, arousal, blood oxygen levels), and performance (mental and physical). Often QS technologies (e.g. the FitBit personal activity monitor) also incorporate aspects of gamification to increase consumer engagement in healthy activity.

Turning Evidence into Policy, into Funding, into OutcomesThursday 18 July 10.40amChair: Harry Lovelock Turning evidence into policy and funding outcomes: The mental health and better access story How do you turn policy into action? Why do governments invest in a particular sector and not another? When is the right time to begin advocating for funding? What is the best way to measure success of such an investment? This workshop will look at the mental health sector's success in securing $4b in funding over 6 years and the building of an evidence base and advocacy strategy that was instrumental in funding the Better Access initiative, which is the Federal Government's largest single government investment in this sector.

E-Health SafetyThursday 18 July 10.40amChair: Neville Board Clinical systems are designed to improve the safety, appropriateness and efficiency of health care, wrapping the right information securely around the patient record to optimise care. However, new types of incidents and harm can result from design, implementation and change of health IT. Health IT can also identify healthcare incidents that passed undetected in paper systems. In addition, the types of errors we make in paper prescribing, ordering and clinical documentation can also happen in clinical systems.

Social Media and Mental HealthThursday 18 July 1.10 pmChair: Dr Kerrie Buhagiar The "social" side of mental health - using social media to understand and engage your target audience Social media, because of its increasing popularity and unprecedented wide reach, is becoming a tool of interest across a range of services to engage and interact with their audiences. Mental health services (as well as health services more broadly) are beginning to explore social media as a tool, however communicating in this environment requires significant thought, planning, information analysis and risk management. This workshop will use a case study that explores how ReachOut.com has used social media (and the associated information it affords) to reach, engage and understand its youth audience. We will share, discuss and critique the opportunities, insights, and lessons we have gained along the way, and use these as a stimulus for considering opportunities within your local service areas.
