DATE Tuesday 12 May 2015 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.
