Digital transformation of healthcare rarely unfolds as predicted. Postdoctoral researcher Oliver Canfell will reveal insights from an observational study at STARS hospital soon after its Go-Live in 2021: What is our understanding of clinical behaviour in a new digital hospital?

Co-design panel discussion with special guests Professor Kim Wilkins, Professor Brian Head, Associate Professor Kate O'Brien and Professor Barbara Masser, exploring the why, what, and how of co-designing high-impact research to address complex challenges.

The workshop will explore the relationship between strategy and culture by introducing activities to explore the co-creation of shared values and a vision for success, and touch on the need for back-casting to identify key challenges and the pathways to overcome barriers to meaningful impact.
