Australia is committed to looking at ways to modernize its healthcare delivery further by integrating digital health. Advance Care Planning (ACP) is an area of healthcare that would likely benefit from further digitalization. However, while greater integration of technology in the delivery of ACP could help improve practices and lead to increased uptake, the extent to which this is achievable will be influenced, in part, by current approaches to ACP regulation. This article canvasses recent developments and trends in Australian law relevant to ACP and reflects on how these developments may impact the further digitalization of ACP.
澳大利亚致力于探索通过整合数字健康来进一步实现其医疗服务现代化的方法。预先护理计划(ACP)是医疗保健领域中可能会从进一步数字化中受益的一个领域。然而,虽然在提供预先护理计划时更多地整合技术有助于改善实践并提高其采用率,但这一目标的可实现程度将部分受到当前预先护理计划监管方法的影响。本文探讨了澳大利亚与预先护理计划相关法律的最新发展和趋势,并思考这些发展可能如何影响预先护理计划的进一步数字化。
