Digital health outcomes start with clear strategy.
Erintide Consulting helps health and medical research organisations turn complex information environments into clear strategy, better decisions and practical outcomes.
I start with a simple question: what problem are you trying to solve? From there, the work is practical: connecting strategy, information architecture, governance and technology decisions to the outcome you need to deliver.
I work with government health agencies, research organisations, standards bodies and sector partners on complex information, policy, architecture or governance questions where the answer needs to be useful, defensible and easy to explain. Engagements are delivered directly through Erintide Consulting, in partnership with Voronoi, or via Ernst & Young (EY).
The work draws on more than 40 years across digital systems, architecture, data, health informatics and program delivery, grounded in experience, supported by rigour and delivered with pragmatism.
Three ways to bring clarity to complex health information.
Digital health strategy
Digital health succeeds when technology serves a clear purpose. Strategy, policy and architecture work across national, jurisdictional and sector settings: blueprints, roadmaps, standards adoption and operating model design.

Information has value when it supports better decisions. Data landscapes, information architecture, genomic information management, research data and service reporting, made easier to govern, use and explain.

Architecture is useful when it helps people make decisions. Practical architectural foundations grounded in national digital health infrastructure, standards, genomics, aged care and large system replacement.

David O'Driscoll, Principal Consultant
I work in health and medical research, translating between clinical, research, policy and technical teams so digital health and genomics initiatives deliver what they set out to achieve.
Over more than 40 years I have held architecture, information management, digital strategy and program leadership roles across the Australian Digital Health Agency, NEHTA, Queensland Police Service and independent consulting. Recent work includes digital health strategy, genomic information management, health data landscapes, standards governance, FHIR community governance, electronic clinical decision support, aged care data and research information architecture.
I start each engagement with the same question: what problem are you trying to solve? Everything after that is architecture, data and strategy in service of that answer.
Start with the problem you need to solve.
If you need help with digital health strategy, information architecture, governance, standards or architecture, send a short note outlining the problem, the decision you need to support and any timeframes already in place.
