Objective This study asks ‘Is capital investment in Australian public hospitals effectively funding patient access to efficient hospital care?’ Methods The study drew information from semistructured interviews with senior health infrastructure officials, literature reviews and World Health Organization (WHO) reports. To identify which systems most effectively fund patient access to efficient hospitals, capital allocation systems for 17 Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries were assessed.

Abstract:

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a mobile technology that was explored in hospitals in the last decade for improving process efficiencies. However, in the Australian context, this technology is still regarded as an innovation that health ICT practitioners and hospitals are reluctant to trial. This technology, although non-intrusive, is perceived as disruptive by hospitals. Information Systems professionals in the ICT sector and Health Informatics practitioners in Australia are exploring best practices for implementation.

Abstract:

This paper examines the challenge of innovation,and reports on innovation in the Australian hospital sector. Through review of both published and 'grey' literature,the analysis of the innovative record of Australian hospitals is focused on two key questions: How has the hospital sector made use of opportunities for renewal and improved effectiveness in its ongoing response to the challenges it faces? And are the conditions for effective innovation in place? To be truly innovative,the Australian hospital sector requires greater supporting mechanisms including:a consistent policy and funding fra

Abstract:

The pharmacist’s role in hospital antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs is known to improve patient safety and the quality of care. Despite this, many Australian hospitals struggle to provide adequate pharmacy AMS program resourcing and need to explore newer models of care. The Pharmacy Board of Australia’s Guidelines for Dispensing Medicines permit suitably qualified, competent and experienced pharmacy technicians to assist pharmacists in ‘tasks in a pharmacy department’. The pharmacy technician workforce is expanding, and there is growing interest in career advancement and expansion of th

Abstract:

The arrival of the First Fleet in Port Jackson in 1788, and the subsequent establishment of the colony of NSW began the history of the Australian public health system. Prior to Federation each state dealt with their own public health issues and much of the microbiological analysis was performed in the early hospitals and medical school departments of universities. Today, as there is no central Laboratory for the Commonwealth of Australia, each Australian state is responsible for the microbiological testing relevant to public health.

Abstract:

Hospital services in Australia are provided by public hospitals (about 75% of hospitals, two-thirds of separations) and private hospitals (the balance). Australians use about one bed day per person per year, with an admission rate of about300 admissions per thousand population per annum. Provision rates for public hospitals have declined significantly (by 40%) over the last 20 years but separation rates have increased. Average length of stay for overnight patients has been stable but, because the proportion of same day patients has increased dramatically, overall length of stay has declined fr

Antimicrobial resistance is not new in Australian hospitals. In 1946, shortly after penicillin became available for treatment of civilians, a penicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain caused ~50% of staphylococcal surgical wound infections at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH), in Sydney. During the 1950s, another virulent penicillin resistant S. aureus strain (phage type 80/81) emerged in neonatal units in Sydney and spread to other hospitals in Australia and overseas, to the families of affected infants and to the general community, causing serious soft tissue infections, osteom

Phage 604 does not confer antibiotic resistance on its lysogens, nor does it increase virulence in chick embryo assays.

Abstract:

Private hospitals are an essential component of Australia's complex mix of public and private health funding and provision. Private hospitals account for 34.3 per cent of all hospital separations, and over half (56.2%) of all same-dayseparations. The revenue (funding) of the sector approached $4 billion by 1998/99, and as a result of its recent rapid growth capital expenditure in the sector was nearly $550 million in the same year. Private casemix of privatehospitals is distinctive, and characterised by a high proportion of surgical procedures in general (48.1per cent), andmore than a majority
