Opportunity for Redesign Not just another service add on Redesign processes across health service Referral process peri operative process Scheduling Emergency Processes Theatre Schedules Specialist (outpatient) clinics Discharge and Follow up 10
Principles for Model of Care Separation of elective from emergency (physically and functionally) Focuses on patient s journey (starts with referral source eg GP, hospital) Purpose built facility (design standardised, patient spaces ) State of the art technology (most advanced) One stop approach to care (minimises patient attendances) Model forms the basis for all planning phases Business case Service design Facility design Role design IT design Plans and schedules care Standardisation (design and protocols) ICT enables Role design - multi-skilling and new skills 11

The Model of Care Principles completely informed planning & facility design Model of Care Principles Separation of elective from emergency (physical and functionally) Focuses on patient s journey (starts with referral source eg GP, hospital) State of the art technology (most advanced) One stop approach to care (minimises patient attendances) Standardisation (design and protocols) Expected Outcomes Guarantee access for elective surgery plan with confidence No cancellations Includes other health services into care episode, particularly at point of referral and discharge planning Access to best equipment supported by tertiary hospital system, for example patients with complex needs Ensures other health services are involved in patient preparation and follow-up discharge work Other health services will be factored into protocol that starts with referral source and completes with patient returning to that source Plans and schedules care Multi-skilling and new skills ICT focus Purpose built facility (design standardised, patient spaces ) Includes referring GPs/consultants into care episode A patient scheduling centre will coordinate patients care and ensure patient is ready for procedure (reduce DNAs). Draws on skills and expertise of other health services to support the patient s journey, for example state wide rehabilitation service Will enable streamline electronic transfer of information between referring consultants and health services Design enables flexibility to address changes in service demand with built in future expansion (capacity) Emphasis on pre-procedure preparation by GPs, health services supported by The Alfred 22
New Model of Care Major paradigm shift in the management of elective surgery Focus on the patient journey Focus on the patient experience Development of a framework and definition of the type of care and mode of delivery 23

Model of Care Pre-redesign Referral Outpatents Clerk Preadmission Clinic Operating Theatre No clear referral guidelines No front end screening of referral Placed on the waiting list, health questionnaire sent to patient via clerk, on return no clinical review of patient status Decision for PAC made by the clerical staff or Doctors secretary based on patient s age and diagnosis No development of the patients plan of care Surgical list decided by clerk or doctor based upon patient s ready as opposed to waiting time, 25
The New Surgical Patient Journey Referral Specialist Clinics Patient Service Centre Preadmission Clinic Operating Theatre Procedural Suites Beds Discharge & Continuing care Referral guidelines Peri-operative Coordinator Review & patient plan of care developed One stop approach to scheduling Co-locates bed assignment, waiting list, peri-operative coordinators and schedulers Protocol driven Booked 4-6 weeks prior to surgery date Surgery booked 2-4 weeks prior to planned date, no cancellations Electronically scheduled at the time of surgical booking Event driven discharge Links back to GP s for ongoing care minimising outpatient attendances Protocol-led process throughout the entire journey 26
Peri-Op Co-ordinator Role New role Experienced surgical nurse Key contact for patients & staff Supports the designated surgical unit in co-ordinating the patients care & journey Guided by protocols developed & authorised by the Surgical Unit & Dept of Anaesthesia Day to day works closely with the surgical unit, however are part of the Patient Service Centre Monitor unit performance and outcomes Coverage across all surgical units 16 EFT 27
