This is a really interesting read. We often get caught up in the uniqueness of individual health systems and search for bespoke solutions. Whilst it's vital that our solutions are tailored to meet our customers' needs it shouldn't be forgotten that around the world there's always someone who's "been there and done that". Shared experience can help avoid mistakes and build on successes. #digitalhealth #digitaltransfromation #sharedcarerecords

When I was “learning” healthcare and hospital administration at Magee Women’s Hospital in the 90s, I learned that one of the reasons our cancer outcomes for women were the best in the city of Pittsburgh and higher than the national average was because we used a CARE TEAM approach. This was way before it’s time. The belief was simple and I could not believe that we were one of the only cancer programs that mandated a MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM be assigned to a single patient and meet once a week to discuss treatment and progress. Being an academic research institution helped justify this process but remission rates for advanced breast and ovarian cancers demonstrated its effectiveness. I saw this uncommon model in action getting radical results at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America (acquired by City of Hope) in the nineties as well. Don’t we all want best outcomes starting in primary care? Hard to believe that Christopher Chen, MD has to talk about it here in 2023 albeit brilliantly. MULTIDISCIPLINARY CARE TEAMS WORK because human health is complicated, non-linear, and behavioral as well as physical. A systematic approach to patient-centered ream care is time-effective, cost-effective, and quality of life effective. Read Dr. Chen’s article. Transform your idea of primary healthcare.

An Open Letter to Hospital Boards of Directors: Long-Term Strategic Planning needs Your Attention

I spend 5 days per week speaking with GPs and practice managers, yet obtained just as much insight about the life of a locum from reading this book. It really is a “must read” for healthcare professionals and representatives within the industry. Despite being immersed in the challenges of rural healthcare for years, I came away with a renewed appreciation for the role of General Practitioners and critical impact they have on the wellbeing of Australia’s millions. Dr Henry freely admits her avoidance of hospital work, and touches on (although not directly referring to) the impostor syndrome sometimes felt as a GP - particularly in relation to, perhaps more desensitised, Specialists in other areas of medicine. But it’s her compassionate and emotional personality that seemingly makes her the well-regarded doctor that she is. GPs aren’t just good listeners, they’re at the coalface of a vast multitude of illnesses that come through clinic doors. It’s their ability to relate, see patients as individuals, be knowledgeable and think outside the box - treating not just test results but the person in front of them in a holistic and comprehensive manner. That’s what makes them unique and critical to the health of the entire population. I note that Sonia tends to highlight only the most interesting of her cases in the book - which invariably arise from 30 minute or longer appointments, or from patients requiring repeated trips to a GP. This extended appointment time allows her to thoroughly assess the individual both medically and personally, provides time to reflect and consequently offer the best care. It’s fascinating to observe her internal thoughts and the impact these patients have on her memory. Without the opportunity to spend this valuable time with a GP, it’s likely these more complex patients in rural areas would be at the mercy of specialist waitlists in cities hundreds (or thousands) of kilometres away, or remain untreated through lack of local resources. The health outcomes in both cases are dire. It’s critical that Medicare systems should be in place to fairly allow for longer, more comprehensive appointment times. Encouraging GPs to do what they do best. Hopefully the account in this book helps educate policymakers to the realities faced by rural healthcare professionals, and inspires more doctors to uproot and trial life in the bush. #generalpractice #ruralhealth #locumlife #indigenoushealth Sonia Henry
