AI in the APS: Exploring Opportunity and Maturity

According to a report published by the CSIRO, the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) in the APS and machine learning are estimate to be worth AU$22.17 trillion to the global economy by 2030. Additionally Data61, the CSIRO’s innovation hub, estimates that digital tech (including AI) will contribute an extra $315 billion in gross economic value to Australia over the next decade. Compelling applications of AI in the government space include those that identify tax-evasion patterns, sort through infrastructure data, improve decision-making for farmers and agribusiness, or sift through health and social-service data to prioritise cases for child welfare and support. …

Creating and sustaining an engaged and caring workforce

At the recent Improving Patient Outcomes and Experience event, we heard from Bernadette Kenny, General Manager, Primary Care Innovation and Development, WA Primary Health Alliance as she dived into how to create and sustain an engaged and caring workforce. In this article she explores: Both of these standards and concepts are about achieving high performing care, but since the Alliance was set up to work with GP clinics, “we were very curious at the beginning about what defined a high performing general practice.” Of the 10 building blocks as part of the model, “the first four are foundational to support …

However, of all the government services that have been affected, it was largely the Department of Transport that was the most impacted. That might initially sound incongruous but being “a network of branches,” with a focus on transport infrastructure and logistics, the department has the “capability to scale up very quickly.” In fact, the WA Department of Transport has become the government’s go-to department “if there are any incidents.” As such, “overnight, our operations changed.” …

Understanding Big Data Capabilities in the Public Sector

Data analytics should be an easy sell having been on the radar of every CIO, CTO and CEO for years. By now the opportunities around Big Data are well documented, but with competing priorities, budget limitations, legacy systems, inconsistent data and growing concerns around security and privacy; many in the public sector have been slow to transform however, with a lack of understanding around big data capabilities leaving the public sector lagging.

Investing in the right conversations for mental health

“We very much recognise that wellbeing is a personal responsibility, but as an organisation we also recognise that leaders have a role in creating an environment that enables healthy wellbeing.” Leonie Graham says that for them, ‘R U OK Day’ also sparked “a theme of keeping the conversation going. It wasn’t just a one-off training session or a Band-Aid solution.” It was about a continuous approach to supporting people in whatever way was necessary for them.

The COVID-19 pandemic is placing enormous strain on the global health care sector’s workforce, infrastructure, and supply chain, and exposing social inequities in health and care.
