641 - Empowering Clinicians with Actionable Data: The HealthCare Logic Difference

In this episode of Talking HealthTech, Peter Birch speaks with Brett Sellars, Head of Clinical Solutions, and Chris Reid, Platform Specialist, from Healthcare Logic.

The conversation looks at data-driven decision-making in healthcare, the evolution and real-world use of command centres, and how the strategic use of information can improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency.

The trio discusses the importance of clinician-led co-design, balancing technology with human factors and the challenges of introducing new solutions across diverse healthcare settings.

They also cover why dashboards and alerts need to be tailored to each role, how change fatigue affects hospital staff and why AI and automation should be approached with care.

The episode also touches on the value of connecting hospitals in Australia and overseas so lessons learned in one setting can help improve care in another.
