Australian Healthcare Week Presents: Diagnostic Imaging 2012

One of the greatest challenges to the prosperity and success of Australia is meeting the coming healthcare demands of the population. Whether it be access to expertise in the bush or responding to endemic health trends – what is clear that healthcare cannot be viewed in silos - a collaborative, connected solution is the only remedy.

Australian Healthcare Week has been specifically designed to bring together the key stakeholders in the provisioning and delivery of healthcare. As technologies in diagnostic imaging and surgery revolutionise the fields, how we plan and develop healthcare facilities must not only keep pace, but foresee the future and this can only be achieved by a consistent dialogue between all parties involved.


Featured Speakers Include

Opening the door to enable clearer, more detailed imaging techniques

Continuous research and constantly evolving technology is enabling healthcare professionals to provide effective diagnosis to disease. Diagnostic Imaging 2012 will discuss this evolution as well as enabling future research by determining key funding options, workforce planning and education commitments to ensure that research in this area will continue to grow.

With an approximate cost of $2.15 billion to medicare spread across 18.2 million diagnostic imaging services, combined with an ageing populating that require more treatments, the pressure is increasing on pathology and radiology.

On top of this technology has enabled clearer, more detailed imaging techniques resulting in these departments coming together. It is therefore vital that all health professionals involved in diagnostic imaging are fully aware of the best techniques to combine their departments, reduce errors and plan and implement picture archiving and communication systems.

The Diagnostic Imaging 2012 conference is an exclusive event that will discuss latest challenges, opportunities and solutions for diagnostic imaging within health facilities. Uniting leading medical imaging experts from public and private hospitals as well as state and federal health departments, you will gain the opportunity to network and discover how they are currently innovating and tackling common obstacles industry is facing.

What is the main focus of the conference?

This event will offer valuable insight into:

  • Ensuring patient safety and optimal patient outcomes
  • Planning and implementing Picture Archiving and communication system to manage increased volumes of images
  • Improving data collection and the use and value of testing in Australia
  • Driving down costs and increasing the overall efficiency and safety of diagnostic imaging
  • Combining radiology and pathology departments
  • Reviewing DI funding in Australia – challenges and policy imperatives
  • Overcoming negative effects relating to IT issues contributing to errors
