Med­i­cines are among the most fre­quent­ly used health­care inter­ven­tions, yet med­ica­tion-relat­ed harm remains a lead­ing cause of pre­ventable hos­pi­tal admis­sions. Clin­i­cians, par­tic­u­lar­ly phar­ma­cists, often work with­in frag­ment­ed data envi­ron­ments where crit­i­cal infor­ma­tion about pre­scribed, dis­pensed, and admin­is­tered med­i­cines is scat­tered across sys­tems. This not only increas­es work­load and stress but also cre­ates unac­cept­able risks for patients, espe­cial­ly those with mul­ti­ple comor­bidi­ties or vul­ner­a­ble health con­di­tions. The AutoMedic project will cre­ate a dig­i­tal­ly enabled work­flow that mean­ing­ful­ly trans­forms the process and safe­ty of sup­port­ing med­i­cines man­age­ment across tran­si­tions of care.

Join us for an insight­ful pre­sen­ta­tion on how the AutoMedic project is rev­o­lu­tion­is­ing med­ica­tion safe­ty through col­lab­o­ra­tive dig­i­tal process improve­ment and dis­cov­er how we can reduce pre­ventable harm and enhance patient care.

Speak­er Bio:

Michael Bakker (B Pharm FANZ­CAP (Infor­mat­ics), Chief Phar­ma­cy Infor­ma­tion Offi­cer, SA Phar­ma­cy, Statewide Clin­i­cal Sup­port Ser­vices, Depart­ment for Health and Wellbeing)

Michael Bakker, Chief Phar­ma­cy Infor­ma­tion Offi­cer, SA Phar­ma­cy and PhD can­di­date, spe­cial­is­ing in human-in-the-loop AI for clin­i­cal deci­sion sup­port. Michael brings over a decade of expe­ri­ence at the inter­sec­tion of health­care, tech­nol­o­gy, and strate­gic sys­tem redesign. He has led statewide dig­i­tal med­i­cines ini­tia­tives and is a recog­nised leader in dig­i­tal health trans­for­ma­tion. In his cur­rent work, he focus­es on how tech­nol­o­gy can mean­ing­ful­ly sup­port clin­i­cians, improve med­ica­tion safe­ty, and dri­ve sus­tain­able change.
