The early intervention working group is focused on identifying system-wide issues that have, or are likely to have, an impact on culture across the ACT public health system. The group has focused on identifying and monitoring culture issues that may arise from the implementation of significant change programs, including the digital health record, the human resource information management system, or HRIMS, and the Canberra Hospital master plan.
Lastly, Madam Speaker, the professional transition to work working group is aimed at investing in our early career professionals as they transition from being students to developing into professionals in the health system. Two research projects have been initiated by the working group. These projects support an evidence-based approach to understanding and delivering programs to best support professionals in their first two years of work within the health system.
