Digital Health involves micro and macro skillsets to navigate the challenges and opportunities on the horizon.
When people approach a new task or action, we face uncertainty, requiring an activated mindset for change and effective learning. A responsive, evidence based professional, I engage, facilitate, and train multi-disciplinary practitioners in practical professional development, supervision, and reflective e-collaborations related to recovery-privileged consultation.
My professional experiences in health, mental health and the clinical education or training sectors span over 25 years in Australia, and the United States. For child, adolescent, family, adult, and older adult populations, I understand co-occurring needs, time-management realities, service quality, and the client feedback required in managing complex needs within our health care, mental health support, education and their corporate interprofessional workplace cultures.
“Really important, really helpful moving forward. Part of the challenges is trying to ensure there’s consistent communication between people to figure out the bit more complex”
“Well, because you in a sense you’ve got a whole lot of people working in parallel with their own formulations …..I could see it being really helpful if somebody was on an enhanced care plan…I think care collaboration and continuity of care is really important, particularly when dealing with complexity. I think the private space is being asked to hold more and more complexity. There’s a danger in not having literacy or the fluency providing care coordination, facilitating care coordination.”
“How nice it would be if you heard your mental health care plan reviews that way? It also recognizes the client in care, this is part of your care. I wonder if that changes culture around it. That we value it”
