I have had the immense honor of working for and then with physicians since I was 15 years old. Looking back over those nearly five decades, I can, without hesitation, say each physician and clinician I have worked with cared deeply for their patients, doing their best to improve the patient’s current state. In my career as a hospital administrator, I was fortunate to work with physician leaders in their efforts to expand access, reach and quality of care to individuals and communities. Their commitment, passion and brilliance to advance clinical care continues to inspire me. If we truly want to ‘honor’the work and dedication of physicians, and all clinicians, we should do so through action. We need to demonstrate that we recognize the unique value of every minute of their available time. As an industry we must purposefully act to remove valueless, administrative burdens draining valuable minutes of physician and clinicians time. We need to step back and question what value does an administrative task being completed by a clinician deliver and to whom that value accrues. For each administrative task we - as an industry- need to be question and evaluate the time/value of that task to patient access and quality outcome. Does the task create value to access, quality, overall outcome? To whom does that identified value accrue? Although, I haven’t done the detailed analytical research and calculations, my nearly 50 years of professional experience and personal relationships with clinicians, leads me to conclude that every minute of administrative activity, void of patient and/or multi-party value patient and or multi- party improvement to care outcome or access improvement, has a compounding negative impact on a physician/clinician’s physical and emotional availability. We are draining a limited resource. As an industry, lets work to reverse and remove the value-drain of administraive requirements we are placing on physician/clinician’s time. This will demand more than automation. We need to question the ROI of the administrative task/process and effort to the value each task/process contributes to improving patient access, care quality and or experience. Thank you, to every physician and care giver who continues to care deeply and battle daily for your patients and communities. I am eternally grateful for all you do. We, at Avaneer Health, are shoulder to shoulder with you. We are redesigning the business of healthcare. Where effort delivers value to all parties creating win-win-win rather one-side value creation with healthcare’s current carrot/stick and regulation/penalty approach.

Considering whether ACHE membership is still valuable? Absolutely! Let me share why: Having recently come across an article questioning the relevance of ACHE membership, I couldn't help but reaffirm its significance.

As you can imagine, in healthcare and sciences there is a lot of information to go around and be viewed. This was a project that took a powerful team to take a heavy amount of content for multiple parties; physicians, patients, researchers, etc. and making it easily digestible for every viewer. Designing websites is about finding the right balance of sharing just enough data while remaining visually striking. Also big shout out to Rich Le (Killer UX Strategist and just an amazing human)

Perhaps we can say that a decent measure of any government is how they truly treat their regional communities and the smallest electorates. In terms of aimless showboating, or grand and empty gestures, you wouldn't bother would you? Big expsnses for an electorate no one cares much for? In 2024 however, Darwin remains Australia's smallest capital city, with a population of 144,000. And yet. Their communities need us more than any other. In 2019, ABC journalist Ms Chelsea Heaney, in an article titled 'Darwin only capital city in the nation where population dropping' made it clear what the situation was there. And here we are in 2024 and Darwin is going to have a new medical school. Under the stewardship of the Albanese government, Australia is clearly a nation Ahead of the Curve. And when you're ahead of the curve, you are well and truly ahead of the pack. The harmless ones and very few less harmless. Moreover, what a glorious thing for the wonderful people of Darwin. I can only imagine the good fortune this will bring Darwin. Visiting regional and rural communities always reminds you how difficult medical services can be in remote regions. Given the land mass of Australia and the sprawl of our cities, it's so integral to have the right infrastructure. And then, to have the VERY MOST prestigious schools opening up in the VERY smallest capital city in Australia? We must be doing a lot right. The people of Australia are so much better off for everything you and your administration do. Great news every week. Sometimes every day. Can't ask for much more. Thank you Minister. Very sincerely.
