I'm from Perth, Western Australia and work for the Health Department in Western Australia and recently sent a email to you and Jean Drew, but alas I didn't hear back. <BR/><BR/>I am on of the Director General's Director and was given the task of organising the Minister for Health and Director General's Study Tour to the USA which commences this coming Monday 16 April. <BR/><BR/>At this stage the Minister and Director General are in Boston from Tuesday, 24 Apr through to 27 Apr. Currently they are visiting MGH, Dana Farber, Childrens and BMC. Ofcourse you can see... I am missing a key Boston health icon... BIDMC!<BR/><BR/>As it turns out I have Wednesday, 25 Apr unschedule other than a few meetings in the late afternoon. I was wondering if you would be interested in hosting the delegation of three. <BR/><BR/>Areas of interest for the Minister and Director General include: <BR/>1. New concepts in hospital design and function. This coupled with the underpinning planning and transition management issues.<BR/>2. Advances in patient information and information technology.<BR/>Particularly viewing integrated solutions and impact on health service delivery.<BR/>3. Innovative models of care. With a significant focus on ambulatory and non-inpatient care, integrated service design and facility solutions.<BR/>4. Health care leadership and innovation. Focusing on employee engagement and associated systems. Also leadership development, driving ongoing reform/improvement initiatives and increasing community awareness.<BR/><BR/>Below I have provided a few key statistics about the Western Australian public health system. Currently the system is undergoing a major reform initiative including approx $4b in capital works lead by the Director General and Health Reform Implementation Taskforce to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the system including major capital works program. <BR/> * $3.5b annual operating budget<BR/> * 89 hospitals covering acute, community, metropolitan and regional facilities<BR/> * $4b capital works program<BR/> * 37,000 employees<BR/> * 431k hospital discharges pa<BR/> * 616k outpatient attendances with doctors pa<BR/> * 706k emergency department visits pa<BR/> * 88k surgeries pa<BR/><BR/>I can send you more information etc if you are interested and able to assist.<BR/><BR/>With kind regards<BR/><BR/>Kingsley Burton<BR/><BR/>Kingsley Burton <BR/>Project Director<BR/>Health Reform Implementation Taskforce<BR/><BR/>kingsley.burton@health.wa.gov.au<BR/><BR/>http://www.health.wa.gov.au/HRIT/home/ <BR/> <BR/>Ground Floor, 1 Alvan Street<BR/>Subiaco, WA, 6008<BR/>Tel: +61 (8) 9489 6155<BR/>Fax: +61 (8) 9489 6166<BR/>Mbl: +61 413 621 520Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553214367234803641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-85013643287587158752007-04-12T22:12:00.000-04:002007-04-12T22:12:00.000-04:00Would love to hear from her.Would love to hear from her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-79663047587916668282007-04-12T12:34:00.000-04:002007-04-12T12:34:00.000-04:00Hi Paul - I have an internet colleague in Australi...Hi Paul - I have an internet colleague in Australia at the Primary Health Care Research and Information Service, and I am emailing her about your post.
