15 Innovations in funding and service delivery More Allied Health Services Program The Regional Health Services Program NWQAHS Katherine West Rural Private Access Program Medicare access through EPC WA Allied Health Assistants project Community rehabilitation project QLD
16 Allied health benchmarks a number of approaches focussed on specific clinical areas predominantly inpatient workloads Relevance to rural too specific for many rural settings lack the concentration of services, particularly inpatient services Rural and remote examples Rural Physiotherapy Remote AH services
17 allied health benchmarks approaches individual staff member to a number of patients in specific clinical areas. Eg Rehabilitation guidelines Victorian Allied Health in Rehabilitation Consultative Committee and Christie (which both include outpatients) clinical time as a percentage of an FTE eg use of the NAHCC workload distribution categories
18 Benchmarking examples Langhorne and Dennis 1998 study Staffing in British acute stroke units (ASU s) Stroke Units: an Evidence Based approach recommendations for average Allied Health Staffing per 10 beds. Heather Christie recommendations based on the number of patients to FTE for specific caseloads. Eg general medical inpatients per FTE; Paediatric outpatients per FTE.
19 Relevance to rural too specific for many rural settings lack the concentration of services, particularly inpatient services reduces their applicability beyond metropolitan and perhaps major regional areas
20 One approach Public sector NSW ARIA levels HA, MA, A P+R+I+O = recommended minimum Physiotherapy staffing level P=Population (1:5000) R=number of Rehab (1:10) I= number of ICU beds (1:6) O=the number of Orthopods (1:2) P/5000+R/10+I/6+O/2= recommended FTE
21 Remote area recommendations have been developed and reviewed for ARIA levels R and VR and recommend the capacity for a minimum of monthly visits from a physiotherapist to all remote communities with a population of over 100 residents
22 New and ongoing challenges Workforce Supply Staffing level recommendations Distribution Critical mass Education and training Recruitment and retention in rural and remote areas
23 New and ongoing challenges Service delivery Ageing population Chronic diseases Workforce changes Data -workforce planning Service planning
24 .there are many ways forward.. all will require the consistent and collaborative effort that has produced the results described during this conference
25 Dispersed health Professionals linked Common issues identified Action to address identified issues Evaluation and dissemination This could not have been achieved without joining in the bigger picture Rural Health Movement Advocacy and Lobbying Programs developed to support rural health professionals Replication of successful initiatives Critical success factors Networks and Partnerships Organisations and united voices Funding Product, Policy and politics
