Strategies to Improve the
Capacity of Victorian Hospitals
AGENDA
6.30pm Registration
Ms Katherine Walsh
7.00pm Presentation by Ms
Katherine Walsh
In the lead-up to the November 2014 Victorian State Election, the ALP committed to engaging
former AMA Victoria president Dr Doug Travis to “conduct a state-wide census of bed and
theatre capacity and provide recommendations about how to increase the capacity of Victorian
hospitals”. Phase one of the review was released on 1 April 2015 and focuses on existing
capacity within the health system that is currently under-utilised. Phase two of the review will
begin early April. This will look at innovative strategies to improve the capacity of Victorian
hospitals. It will focus on three key areas; chronic complex patients, outpatients, and services
delivered outside hospitals by hospitals. The main aim will be to find ways to keep people out of
hospital. Katherine will provide an overview of the review process to date and then ask members
to provide their feedback and ideas to inform AMA Victoria’s Submission.
8.30pm AMA Victoria
Update & Soap Box
This will be followed by an AMA update from AMA Victoria Vice President, Dr Gary Speck, who
will present the priorities and wins of the AMA to date. We will then open the floor and conduct
the Soap Box segment of the evening giving you the chance to have your say with all comments
made
communicated to the AMA Victoria Board.
WHERE
RSVP by Wednesday 6 May, places for this dinner meeting will be limited.
