2019 eAwards winners announced
eAward of the Year winner and Collaborate and Connect category winner
Advance Care Yarning by Darling Downs HHS
The Advance Care Yarning app is the development of a culturally specific app to allow Aboriginal people to develop their own End of Life (EOL) care resource. The app started from a simple observation with health care staff noticing younger and older indigenous people interacting with technology when they were in the hospital setting, but they also knew there was no easy to understand culturally specific resource to help them develop an End of Life care plan. Putting the two together, the app provides a culturally sensitive way to engage with Aboriginal people to gather information about family, wishes and healthcare. The app development was a combined effort and drew on the expertise and input from multiple sources and agencies including nursing staff, drug and court support workers, Indigenous health workers, and other community and Darling Downs HHS staff.

Darling Downs Health pathways by Darling Downs HHS HHS
The Darling Downs Health Pathways (DDHP) is a web-based, virtual health neighbourhood aimed at fostering collaboration between hospitals and community services, spanning both public and private systems; and primary healthcare services. This is an innovative, web-based, information portal. The pathway provides contemporary, effective, evidence-based and localised referral pathways and resources. These connect, inform, and empower primary health care clinicians and create referral efficiencies across the range of health care. The program is on track to deliver 300 pathways across the Darling Downs Region by June of this year.
Foster Innovation category winner
DelICiUS - An electronic ICU delirium screening tool by Metro North HHS
The DEL-ICiUs initiative saw the development of an electronic ICU delirium screening tool by the Critical Care Research Group at the Prince Charles Hospital. Hospital-acquired delirium often occurs in patients within Intensive Care Units (ICU) with up to 80 per cent of patients experiencing the condition. Delirium is associated with multiple complications and prolonged hospital stays. It can result in falls or self-removal of catheters and lines by patients. Current screening processes for delirium are time-intensive and can lead to late diagnosis or missed cases. DEL-ICiUs is a patient-friendly, easy-to-administer electronic app which facilitates accurate and early delirium diagnosis via eScreening in ICU inpatients. Early diagnosis of delirium assists medical staff, patients and their families and ensures patients receive appropriate care.

The Regional Information Via Electronic Record – RIVeR Sentiment Tracker is a tailored, culturally inclusive stakeholder change management tool that has been developed in collaboration with indigenous health workers, educators and Far North Queensland stakeholders to support one of the largest digital health programs undertaken in rural and remote Queensland.
Through a simple digital interface, it uses different learning styles; visual, auditory, reading and kinesthetic to support the change journey and provide practical guidance for local leaders and project team members about how best to support staff throughout implementation.
The customised tool ensured that the change approach is inclusive and respectful of all staff across Far North Queensland.
The Tele-Cardiac Investigations team aims to increase access to Cardiac Investigations in Queensland’s regional and rural areas through telehealth technologies. The Cardiology team based at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital use telehealth video technology, in conjunction with on-site regional support staff, to conduct cardiac testing on patients in regional/rural hospitals.
The Tele-Cardiac Investigations team are working collaboratively with 17 different hospitals across Queensland to help reduce waitlists, decrease patient travel and expedite the diagnosis of coronary artery disease and arrhythmias.
The collaboration and partnership with regional/rural hospitals has resulted in patients now able to get early, local, access to Cardiac Investigations, which aids in the timely identification of cardiac disease.
