We’re assembling a community to bring about the cultural change required to build connected health care systems through FHIR and health data standards in Australia, and we need your expertise. In every episode we explore the value of standards development from different local and global perspectives including what’s involved in Sparked and how to get involved.

S03 EP 01: Connecting the dots: global digital health standards and Sparked

Australia’s digital health standards are gaining global focus as Sparked’s FHIR Accelerator puts interoperability and productivity at the centre of reform. In this episode, it examines how national priorities connect with international frameworks, and explores why standards matter for practical data exchange, system efficiency, and the safe adoption of new technology. Guests: Rachel Fellner & Kate Ebrill Key themes and takeaways: Global Alignment and Local Implementation - Aligning Australian standards with international frameworks supports real interoperability and avoids duplicating effort, with benefits for vendors, clinicians, and patients.Beyond Technical Solutions: Productivity and Change Management - The real value of interoperability is realised through improved system efficiency and better patient outcomes, and requires active collaboration and change management, not just technical fixes.Building Strong Data Foundations for AI - High quality, standardised data is essential for safely adopting emerging technologies like AI, reinforcing the need for robust clinical and technical governance. This episode offers practical insights for digital health leaders, informaticians, policy makers and anyone interested in how connected care is built through better data standards.

S03 EP 02: Two tribes, one standard

Australia’s journey toward interoperable digital health depends on how well states and territories can align their distinct approaches. In this episode, it focuses on the realities of FHIR adoption in complex state-based systems, the practical challenges of scaling standards, and what needs to change to truly benefit patients and clinicians at every level. Guests: Andrew Aho, Peter Sprivulis & Marc Belej Key themes and takeaways: The critical role of state leadership - States are not just implementing national standards, they’re shaping how FHIR and interoperability are understood and operationalised at scale.Practical barriers to real-world interoperability - Budgeting, procurement processes, and legacy contracting can slow the adoption of standards despite wide support among clinicians and managers.Patient experience front and centre - True interoperability means fewer gaps, less repetition, and a better care experience as patients move across providers and settings. This episode brings together strategy, technology, and policy insights to illustrate how state leadership and cooperation are key to a truly interoperable health system across Australia.
