AMA Submission: Draft Aged Care Data and Digital Strategy
On 20 November the AMA provided a submission to the Department of Health and Aged Care consultation on the proposed Aged Care Data and Digital Strategy.
The AMA submissions cautions against over-investment in digital solutions that excessively rely on individual digital and health literacy of older people to manage their health and navigate the aged care environment at the same time. The AMA submission also questions whether improving health and digital literacy of older people over the 5-year strategy term is achievable, as proposed by the draft.
