Introduction by Croakey: An instructive, entertaining and overall quite depressing summary of the history of Australian health reform is presented by Dr Bill Coote this week in Medical Republic, with a focus on general practice. It’s well worth a read, if you haven’t already. Coote has many strings to his long bow – a former rural generalist and practice owner, Australian Medical Association Secretary-General, director of the Professional Services Review, and policy advisor to federal health ministers. Overall, his analysis, titled ‘From universal care to a two-speed system’, highlights the persistent inertia confronting health reform efforts, and how little real progress has been made over decades despite the “alphabet stew of acronyms”, including “GPPAC, GPCG, MBCC, EPC, ADGP, AGPAL, FMP, RACGPTP, GPET, RTPs (re-birthed as RTOs), the PIP (originally BPP), RCS, RAMUS, PDSA, NPS and BEACH”. His analysis – described by one reader as “an unlovely trip down memory lane” – would have been even more depressing if it had delved into the history of public health and prevention. Let’s not forget ANPHA (the Australian National Preventive Health Agency) and other public health initiatives slashed over the years, including many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health initiatives. What this lack of progress means for peoples’ health and lives can be seen in some of the data presented below by health policy analyst Charles Maskell-Knight, who has been wading through data recently released by the Productivity Commission, and identifies many worrying trends. “Taken as a whole, the report shows a health system under stress and struggling to deal with increased demand by extending waiting times,” Maskell-Knight reports. His analysis underscores the importance of reform that is effective in tackling inequities – in access, outcomes and within systems. If the Albanese Government hasn’t got meaningful dental reform on its policy agenda, then it must have a bad case of another acronym, FJiE (Fingers Jammed in Ears).
The health system is under stress, and here are some of the ways that is affecting patient care

“Among the biggest factors driving burnout is the electronic health record (EHR), which introduces additional clerical burdens for clinicians and takes time away from direct patient interaction. According to a US primary care report, more than 40% of family physicians reported unfavorable scores in EHR usability, and more than 25% reported being dissatisfied overall with their EHR” … another argument for a huge forward focus on delivering Value-Based Digital Health #VBDH for all stakeholders in our over-burdened healthcare systems …

We clearly have work to do in #healthcare when just under half of #physicians, 49%, report being burned out and one in five are depressed. Collectively, we can make a difference by empowering doctors to focus more on patient care, with #valuebasedcare and its inherent focus on patient #health outcomes, helping doctors regain the joy of practicing medicine.
