The Evolving Policy Landscape in Australia – Cooperation across the Sector for an Outcomes-focused, sustainable Health System
The policy, funding and regulation of Australia’s health system involves shared roles between the Federal and State/Territory governments, with service delivery largely undertaken by the state and territory governments and the non-government sector. Over time, intergovernmental agreements relating to health have evolved the roles and responsibilities of different tiers of government. However, they have typically centred on the funding of public hospitals first and foremost.
With unsustainable demand on hospitals, such a hospital-centric focus is recognised as undermining the ability of health systems to provide universal health care. Hospitals must not only shift to better integrate care for people with chronic and complex conditions, but support the shift upstream to prevention, health promotion and reducing inequities. This presentation will discuss how the Australian system must come together to improve outcomes and ensure sustainability of the health system. Through a series of case examples, it will highlight challenges faced and the actions necessary, not only within health, but intersectorally, across education, housing, labour, trade, finance and social welfare.

Business Intelligence in Healthcare Supply Chain
Supply Chain Management in a hospital plays a crucial role to transform its balance sheet from red to black. There are many touch points within Supply Chain that requires closer examination to improve services and reduce costs across the hospital. Creating that visibility in data management using business intelligence will help transform hospital supply chain re-defining its role and begin to execute value-added activities across all aspects of the value chain. Business intelligence may be a popular buzzword in the healthcare industry, as if it is the cure-all for all ailments in the clinical process. However, for it to yield the benefits that is expected to cut hidden costs, it needs to be properly managed. The 5 potential action points around BI are: supply data management; procurement; value analysis; sourcing and contracting. Lawrence Koh, EVP, Group Procurement,Health Management International

Workshop The Incoming Care Migration: From Transactions in Bed to Relationships Across Systems
A vision of the future of healthcare that is focused on transforming the current healthcare system into a more efficient, accessible, and cost-effective model:
More care will be provided outside of hospitals than inside of them: This suggests a shift towards decentralized care, with an emphasis on outpatient services, preventive care, and community-based healthcare.
Smaller hospitals with a higher staff-to-patient ratio of AI augmented caregivers: advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and technology will augment healthcare providers, allowing them to deliver care more efficiently and effectively.
Focus on “relationships everywhere” rather than “transactions in buildings” This could involve increased use of telemedicine, remote monitoring, and personalized care plans.
Metrics shifting from “number of beds” to “units of care”: prioritising value-based over volume-based care
The combination of AI technology and human expertise could enable more precise and tailored healthcare interventions.
More accessible and affordable medical education
Research advancements and faster pharmaceutical development
Evolution of roles and increased workforce
Emphasis on process literacy and change leadership
