Welcome to Pulse: Amplify, where we sit down with the leaders and changemakers shaping the future of health. 

Today we’re thrilled to be joined by Rohan Mead, chief author of the Business Council of Australia’s Health and Care Blueprint, Chair of the BCA Health and Care Services Committee and Australian Unity chief executive.

Across 140 recommendations in 6 reform pillars, the Business Council of Australia’s Health and Care Blueprint lays out a bold vision: to modernise our fragmented system, boost productivity, and unlock billions in savings through digital transformation, smarter use of data, and the safe adoption of AI.

Together, we unpack:

• Why BCA wrote the Blueprint, what’s the sense of urgency around health reform
• The demographic trends impacting health
• Why digital transformation is key
• Why it’s time to centre healthcare around the consumer
• Investing in interoperability and role of governments
• Changing the power dynamics of healthcare
• How we build new business models for healthcare
• The clinical demarcation changes needed to help fix healthcare
• AI, regulation and consent – what’s the right model?
