Partnering With Community - Wednesday, 11 December

‘Meeting community needs’ is a phrase often heard in health service planning, but how do you know if you are meeting the needs and expectations of the communities you are working with? And are needs analyses, demographic profiles and epidemiological data all that’s needed when it comes to designing and delivering health intervention.

This webinar will explore the reasons why partnering with communities is essential in developing health services. It will explain the differences between partnering with communities and partnering with health consumers, and why both are needed and how each answers different, complementary questions. The webinar will also include some real world examples of community engagement, focusing on traditionally underserved communities; as well as hints and suggestions on where to begin such partnerships.

Person Centred Integrated Care – Paradox or tautology? - Wednesday, 25 September

While we may say that the patient’s perspective should be the “organising principle of service delivery” do we really mean it? How is our understanding of integration informed by the patient perspective and are the two concepts incidentally related or inextricably linked?

From volume to value: Transforming the public oral health system and improving integration through value based models of care - Wednesday, 4 September

The health system is a complicated matrix of service providers, funding bodies and governance structures. Our population is growing and living longer, technology is advancing and consumer expectations are rising. In this challenging environment, more people than ever need access to public dental services but the wait is long and the care isn’t always focussed on improving health outcomes. In partnership with consumers and clinicians, DHSV has designed Australia’s first Value Based Health Care Framework for public dental services and commenced a proof of concept of new value based models of care at The Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne. By focussing on value, DHSV aims to manage the increasing demand for public dental services, improve coordination of care across the system and improve the health outcomes that matter to patients at the lowest possible cost. In this webinar, Dr Wainer will outline the principles of value based health care and outline the various stages involved in creating an environment where change can not only be facilitated but championed.

Project Integrate Framework Elements - Wednesday, 21 August

Implementing integrated care models is a complex process, and it is important to know what the breadth of influencing factors are when assessing whether integration has been or will be improved. The Project INTEGRATE framework consists of seven interrelated dimensions that are associated with the successful implementation of integrated care initiatives – irrespective of country of implementation, target population or condition focus. It is consistent with the Rainbow model of integrated care and maps the range of factors that influence integrated care.

This webinar reflects on the use of the Project INTEGRATE framework within the context of a formative evaluation of the Central Coast Integrated Care Program. In this case, the framework was used as a tool to measure progress towards integrated care. The tool proved difficult to apply in survey format, however, the results proved invaluable in supporting a situational analysis of progress towards integrated care. Moreover, the structured nature of the dimensions and their corresponding sub-elements provided a scaffold for a common language of integrated care, which in this case was highly valued. We have since applied the survey tool to support situational analysis and planning of integrated care initiatives.

Taking Forward Integrated Care in Australia: An International Perspective - Wednesday, 14 August

Over the past decade in Australia there has been a growing realisation of the need to reform the health and care system towards an approach that seeks to better integrate care, improve quality and promote value. As part of IFIC Australia’s series of opinion pieces on Taking Integrated Care Forward in Australia, this webinar will listen to the views of IFIC’s co-Founder – Professor Nick Goodwin – as he embarks on an exciting new venture as Director of the Central Coast Research Institute (CCRI). Developed as a joint venture between the Central Coast LHD and the University of Newcastle, the CCRI seeks to grow translational research and evaluation capabilities that help to stimulate and sustain innovations in integrated care, specifically to address key health priorities including ageing, obesity, indigenous health, chronic disease and mental health. In the webinar, Nick will reflect upon international trends in the development of successful integrated care models and debate the various challenges – and potential solutions – for taking integrated care forward in Australia.
