I have known Katrina Otto for many years and have worked with her over the last six years at the National Digital Health Transition Agency (NeHTA) and the Australian Digital Health Agency with digital health education and training programs, including the My Health Record (previously know as the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR)) and Computer Information Systems (CIS) in medical practices and primary healthcare centres across Australia.
I strongly recommend Katrina’s approach as an educator and trainer and acknowledge her vast experience and expertise in practice management and the role of digital health systems and programs in advancing medical practice management, data improvement, change management and clinical governance in this age of digital transformation.
