Poor policy and inadequate regulation of medical technology is driving low-value care in Australia's private health system
Aust Health Rev. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1071/AH24006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMillions of Australians use the private health system every year. They should receive safe, high-quality, value-based care. However, poor policy and inadequate regulation of medical technology is driving low-value care at great expense to consumers and the broader health system. Key drivers include the Prescribed List of Medical Devices and Human Tissue, gaps in quality and safety controls for devices being used, and marketing and conflicts of interest. All of these should be addressed to reduce low-value care in Australia's private health sy...

Workforce training needs to address social and emotional wellbeing in home-based Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander aged care
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that ongoing practice-based professional development learning opportunities are needed within organisations to enhance peer-learning and support. These need to be available together with dedicated formal training programs and practical resources on meeting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' SEWB in aged care.PMID:38528716 | DOI:10.1071/AH23236 (Source: Australian Health Review)

Taking a value based commissioning approach to non-clinical and clinical support services
Aust Health Rev. 2024 Mar 25. doi: 10.1071/AH23278. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTValue based healthcare beyond the clinical domain is the focus of this case study. We share NSW Health's experiences in achieving value through a focus on outcomes in non-clinical and clinical support services using examples that demonstrate key aspects across the commissioning cycle. These include: the importance of stakeholder engagement in the planning phase to later success; the critical role of non-clinical services in patient experience; the opportunity to facilitate value by introducing new approaches in business areas such as procurem...

Creating a framework for change: transitioning to value-based healthcare in Queensland
Aust Health Rev. 2024 Mar 25. doi: 10.1071/AH24001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTValue-based healthcare has been described as the sustainable, equitable and transparent use of healthcare resources to achieve improved experiences and outcomes for people and communities. It is supported by all levels of government in Australia, with recent initiatives championing a shift away from traditional, clinician-centric care delivery to a more contemporary, value-based approach. To date, however, efforts in Queensland have focused on smaller scale siloed models of care and have not extended to the transformational change required to...
