Assessment Description
The purpose of this individual assessment is to foster students’ ability to utilise data and a systems- thinking approach to predict the role and influence of preventative strategies and technology on demand for healthcare in the future. Students will debate the ethical issues that can arise in the management of health care systems. They will utilise these skills to develop plans and recommendations to create ways for systems and management challenges to be resolved. In addition, they will make an inventory of resource requirements applicable to a variety of healthcare settings, focusing on vulnerable populations.
Assessment Instructions
This assessment requires students to undertake an analysis of a health service and consider how well it is prepared to meet the needs of Australia’s ageing population.
Students may select any specialist health service from within their own state and should be from the health sectors c) OR e) as described below:
- Primary Care (e.g. General Practice, Dental Service).
- Primary Health Care (e.g. Drug and Alcohol Service, Aboriginal Health Services).
- Secondary Care (e.g. Pathology Services, Breast Screening Services).
- Tertiary Care (e.g. Public or Private Hospitals).
- Quaternary Care (e.g. specialised tertiary care such as neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, plastic surgery, and transplantation).
This analysis should be undertaken using systems thinking approach and should use the WHO six building blocks of a health system framework. The building blocks are:
- Service Delivery: good service delivery comprises quality, access, safety and coverage.
- Health Workforce: a well-performing workforce consists of human resources management, skills and policies.
- Information: a well-performing system ensures the production, analysis, dissemination and use of timely and reliable information.
- Medical Products, Vaccines and Technologies; procurement and supply programs need to ensure equitable access, assured quality and cost-effective use.
- Financing: a good health financing system raises adequate funds for health, protects people from financial catastrophe, allocates resources, and purchases good and services in ways that improve quality, equity, and efficiency.
- Leadership and Governance (Stewardship): effective leadership and governance ensure the existence of strategic policy frameworks, effective oversight and coalition- building, provision of appropriate incentives, and attention to system design and accountability.
