In this episode of the One Health Podcast, Dorian Broomhall from People and Culture gets to know Dr John Lambert, the Chief Clinical Information Officer (CCIO) for the Department of Health.

During our conversation, John spoke about his passions for technology and medicine and how they have led him to his current CCIO role. He explains how that role varies across jurisdictions and describes acting as a universal translator between clinicians, technicians and executives.

John speaks about dealing with uncertainty and the importance of being capable of making decisions even when we don’t possess all the information we’d like.

He also explains how the Bluegum Health Transformation will revolutionise the future of Tasmanian healthcare by delivering statewide change supported by key digital solutions. He describes his consultative approach to this program and how this will ensure both human-centred design and effective change management.
