The Aged Care Industry Information Technology Council (ACIITC) will be hosting the next National Forum on Wednesday 3 June 2020 10:00 AM AEST. The forum aims to highlight Innovation that has developed in the Aged and Community Care sector due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Three international speakers will provide a perspective on how technology is used to deliver care in new ways.

• • Dr Malcolm Fisk, Expert Advisor WHO, will discuss the digital transformation that has occurred in the United Kingdom to deliver aged and community care.

• • Ms Adriana Ciacaru, President of the Youth Commission in Romania, will provide a European perspective on innovative workforce solutions.

• • Professor Greg Alexander, Columbia University, will shine a spotlight on quality and service model changes in the United States America.

A Q&A with the panel of speakers will provide an opportunity for attendees to pose questions and share ideas on the topic of ‘Forced Innovation’ in the care sector.
