SUMMARY:Exploring the role of governing bodies and executives in leading digital adoption (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:The Aged Care Quality & Safety Commission\, as part of the Governing for Reform in Aged Care Program\, invite you to attend the Exploring the role of governing bodies and executives in leading digital adoption webinar to be held on Wednesday 1 March 2023\, 12pm (AEDT). This online and free session is available for program participants only. \nThe world we operate in is becoming increasingly digitised.  Every new medical device\, monitor and communication device is digitally enabled and often mobile.

As is the case in many other sectors\, the aged care sector is moving towards an inevitable digital ‘boom’. \nThe use of technology in the aged care sector has the potential to change the way providers deliver services and improve consumer outcomes. Organisations that view technology as an enabler of improvement and change are better positioned to be able to respond to change\, identify opportunities for improvement and continue to deliver high quality care. \nThis webinar will discuss the adoption of digital technology and innovation in aged care\, and why it is crucial for executive leaders and governing body members to lead the integration of digital technology in their service offerings. \nHear from aged care sector leaders and subject matter experts about: \n\nHow technology can be utilised to enable providers to deliver sustainable and high-quality services\, which result in high quality consumer and employee experiences\nThe role executive leaders and governing body members in creating an environment that supports the integration of innovative technology in order to achieve excellence in service delivery\nHow to engage all governing body members and executives in the uptake of new digital technology to provide leadership in implementation across the organisation\nHow to navigate through the complex environment of technology\n\nThe Governing for Reform in Aged Care Program webinars are run once a month and are the most popular of the learning activities offered as part of the Program. \nPlease note\, this event is only open to participants of the Governing for Reform in Aged Care program. Enrol in the program here  \nIf you are already a participant in the program\, register for this webinar here
