Abstract: In February 2016 the Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Service (KAMS) successfully rolled out a pioneering initiative in collaboration with ISA Healthcare Solution, the software developer and vendors of MMEx , to ensure the continuity of care for our patients across the Kimberley region. This presentation outlines the obstacles in delivering healthcare in remote indigenous Australia and gives a voice to the unspoken thoughts behind provocative innovation, in a somewhat frustrating political environment where “rocket science” was definitely not a prerequisite however innovation and collaboration were vital in ensuring its success.
