Rural and Regional Health Services
23 March 2018 - Sydney
Meeting Code HRT1803
This Roundtable is specifically tailored to Rural & Regional members to network and
identify collaborative improvement around community/population health, workforce
challenges and the adoption of new technology in remote settings.
Suburban and non-metropolitan hospitals often face a number of different challenges
to the large teaching hospitals based in the Capital Cities of Australia and New Zealand,
Yet these hospitals still have to meet the same standards of patient care that are
expected by national and local authorities, and of course meet patient expectation.
In 2018, the Health Roundtable will run a special one day workshop for all suburban,
regional, community and rural hospitals focusing on the issues that are of special
relevance to these sized hospitals.
This roundtable will demonstrate how standard Health Roundtable reports can
highlight those areas that present opportunities for improvement in patient care. Some
additional reports will also be prepared to investigate special areas of interest for this
group's attendees.
In addition, the Health Roundtable will showcase the best innovations in patient care
and service delivery to improve patient care. Members of the Health Roundtable have
noted that over the last three years, many of the best innovations have come from
hospitals within this group.
As working collaboratively with community PHN's (Aust) and PHO's (NZ) is a key
necessity for effective continuity of patient care, special consideration will be given to
considering opportunities for improved data sharing between organisations.
