The Australian Healthcare Week's 2023-24 State of Industry Report is a compilation of input from various healthcare leaders in Australia, including clinical, nursing, medical, ICT, operational and capital development leaders.

The report analyzes the responses from over 100 respondents, who have provided insight into how their transformation and investment priorities have changed in the wake of the pandemic response.

The report also focuses on the impact of digital health and health facility developments on healthcare professionals, and highlights the technical and organizational challenges faced in delivering the transformation vision. It also touches on the need for an evolving workforce and culture to support the sector's innovation agenda.

At the Health Facilities Design & Development Conference 2023, you’ll hear from executives who are leading or have recently completed hospital redevelopment projects cutting across the ANZ region.

In 2021 we saw new care models, digital services, infrastructure projects and systems continue rolling out to meet the surmounting care needs of Australian citizens, whilst highlighting the gaps in connectivity and policy across Australia’s primary, aged care and acute care services.

As we transition into 2022 the intent in the health sector is to move beyond point solution implementation and onto sector-wide sustainability.

What spatial features, technologies, solutions and workforce advancements are yielding the greatest benefits to help achieve this though?

To understand and answer this question, we’ve compiled insights from over 100 Australian healthcare professionals to uncover how their investments and priorities have been shaped by the pandemic and to glean insight into the investment priorities transforming healthcare in 2022 and beyond.

Looking to streamline project delivery healthcare providers look to partners, like yourselves, to provide solutions, share expertise, deliver innovations and help overcome challenges. 

While healthcare project investment and innovation is at an all-time high; driven by the enlightened and technologically savvy customer as well as by recent exposés into the quality of care being provided, Australia is a small market on the global scale and competition for these lucrative contracts high.

With this in mind we picked the brains of four leaders in the healthcare space to learn more about what they look for when scouting for project partners. Read on to explore insights from NSW Health Infrastructure, Children’s Health Queensland and Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service. 

Ahead of Australian Healthcare Week 2020 we picked the brains of over 100 Australian healthcare professionals to learn more about the design, technology and talent trends they see driving patient experience innovation and investment priorities in 2020 and compiled them into our exclusive Market Outlook which will help your business better understand unique challenges faced, investment priority areas and budget allocations.  

Ahead of Australian Healthcare Week 2019 we take a look at the work platinum event sponsor Oneview has done in partnership with The Sydney Children’s Hospital Network, and delve into the benefits these innovative technologies are delivering to patients and their carers. 

Ahead of the 9^th Annual Australian Healthcare Week Summit 2019, we surveyed 116 A/NZ healthcare professionals from a cross-section of the industry, and picked their brains about the challenges, opportunities and investment areas they see shaping the Australian health sector.

Most solution providers start with a single product and through experience they learn about customer need. Adding value to their existing products, they introduce new, but related products to the product line. For a long time it has been believed that bundling products with related services creates a solution. This at best though makes for an interesting pitch.

A true solution provider will however never start with what they can sell, and instead looks at what they can solve. To truly provide a solution you need to look at customer needs holistically, understand market gaps, emerging trends and harness customer insights – especially with the recent uptick in customer expectations driven by the amount of choice available in the modern market. Ideally an effective solution provider will successfully address not just current challenges, but those hitherto unrecognised by their customer base.

Ahead of Australian Healthcare Week 2020 Ben Beville of Southern Cross Protection (SXP) chats to us about how SXP found a solution gap, and how they’re now working to deliver unique healthcare solutions that meet the growing challenge of combatting violence and aggression and improving hospital and health facility security.
