We had the privilege to be part of the customer panel at the Qlik Data Revolution event on 25 September 2018 in Sydney, Australia to talk about our Data Discovery programme. At the event we heard from other customers RICOH and CHEP about their journey so far with Qlik, but the main focus of the day was on data literacy.

The Commonwealth Fund was established in 1918 in the U.S. (one of the first private foundations started by a woman philanthropist, Anna M. Harkness) to ‘enhance the common good’. Its mission today is to promote a high-performing health care system that achieves better access, improved quality, and greater efficiency, particularly for society’s most vulnerable. The Fund’s international program in health policy includes the Harkness Fellowships.

The potential benefits of mobile health (mHealth) programmes, such as using text messages to deliver diabetes self management support, are broad. These benefits are not necessarily based on the size of the effect, but the breadth and depth of their reach into populations who need the greatest support.

I was lucky enough to attend the Health Information and Management Systems (HIMSS) conference in March held in Las Vegas – the largest health informatics conference in the world – 45,000 attendees!
My prime interest was in bringing home practical data analytics ideas and gauging the future direction for systems and analytics. While previous informatics conferences have focused on new applications, with analytics as a side-line (albeit a growing one), analytics was centre stage here.

Anthropology is fundamentally about people and culture. Anthropological research allows us to better understand the health needs and experience of different social and cultural groups. Importantly, anthropology can tell us about the impact of cultural beliefs and values on people’s behaviour, health and wellbeing. It also helps us to understand that cultures are ‘in process’ so people’s understanding of their health and wellbeing changes over time.

New Zealand is an increasingly ethnically diverse society and is set to become more so. Auckland in particular has growing Asian, Middle Eastern, Latin American and African communities. Our people come from everywhere, with over 213 ethnic groups represented in New Zealand. In 2016, almost a quarter of Auckland residents were Asian and a quarter had lived here for less than 5 years.

In the world of public health, we are always looking at determinants – those structural and social reasons that people stay well or get sick - and how we can alter them to prevent ill health.

Social media and healthcare? Perhaps at first, we would presume that these two are incompatible: social media aims to accomplish greater transparency, openness, informality and creativity, while in healthcare we value confidentiality, privacy, formality and certainty.
Katherine Tse | Healthcare Design Fellow
The design of healthcare spaces is more than aesthetics. Design defines the way we experience and perform healthcare – from the front door to our intended destination, we are constantly affected by the choices made on where a room is placed or a door is positioned.
