special sessions
Community Conversations - 12th MAY & 26th may 2021
Two events will be held - one online with rural and remote-based attendees, and a second one in Perth (F2F only). The events are open to consumers and community members who have used healthcare services and have an interest in improving the quality of care. These ‘round table’ discussion events provide an opportunity for consumers to come together to discuss key factors related to Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) and the potential impact on healthcare provision. These events require separate registration (https://bit.ly/VBHC_RegionalCCIP or https://bit.ly/VBHC_ConfCC). These are not available to conference delegates.
World Café - 27th May 2021
There is widespread agreement across the health system that greater efforts are required to keep people well and out of hospital. Investment in prevention, a strong primary health system and effective coordination between primary and acute care are key to progressing these efforts. The Productivity Commission recently released a case study, Innovations in Care for Chronic Health Conditions (Innovations in Care for Chronic Health Conditions - Productivity Commission (pc.gov.au)). The case studies demonstrate that there are practical ways to overcome long-standing barriers to health reform, and provide evidence of better health outcomes and greater efficiency. This World Café will explore innovations to support better care for people with chronic conditions, including funding innovations, use of data for quality improvement, and models of care that reduce avoidable hospitalisations and improve transitions of care and will feature an introduction from Richard Spencer, Commissioner (Social Policy) Productivity Commission.
Breakfast Seminar – 28th May 2021
‘How cancer screening programs contribute value in population health? Reflections from cervical, breast and bowel cancer screening.’
Join us for this breakfast seminar, hosted by Professor Dorota Gertig, Medical Director of Population Health Solutions and the National Cancer Screening Register at Telstra Health. Professor Gertig has an international profile in cancer research, including the epidemiology of cervical, breast and ovarian cancers, and in this seminar she will host a speaker panel to share reflections on how cancer screening programs contribute to value based care. Professor Gertig will speak about the role of the National Cancer Screening Register and cervical screening followed by Professor Christobel Saunders AO, internationally recognised as one of Australia’s most prominent research-orientated cancer surgeons speaking about breast cancer screening and Dr Hooi Ee, Specialist Gastroenterologist at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in WA speaking about how bowel cancer screening contributes to value-based care. The short talks will be followed be a panel discussion and opportunities for audience questions.
ThinkTank - 28th may 2021
The VBHC Think Tank will provides an opportunity for health service managers and policymakers to brainstorm practical strategies for implementation of VBHC within Western Australia. Drawing on the World Economic Forum’s indicators for readiness to implement VBHC, participants will have the opportunity to discuss key achievements and successes of current WA Health projects to identify what can be replicated in other projects, how success can be replicated, opportunities to work better with consumers on coordinated care and enablers and barriers to change.
