In Season 1, we introduced Sparked and explored the big-picture challenges of digital health standards in Australia and around the world.
Now, in Season 2, we’re diving deeper—spotlighting sectors like aged care, nursing, and allied health, and unpacking what interoperability beyond FHIR really means.
Join us as we explore how better data standards can transform care, one connection at a time.
FHIR alone isn’t enough to revolutionise Australia’s digital health landscape. In this episode, we explore how interoperability depends on the alignment of multiple standards—including OpenEHR and SNOMED. Our expert guests unpack what makes Patient Summaries work, how terminology supports data exchange, and why Sparked’s approach is catching global attention.
