🌟 Today marks Michael Roff's final day at the helm of the Australian Private Hospitals Association (APHA), leaving an indelible mark on the private health sector. In our recent interview, Michael reflected on his incredible journey, spanning two and a half decades, and shared his vision on how the sector can unlock greater value for patients. He expressed optimism for the new review of private hospitals announced by Federal Health Minister Mark Butler. "[The Department of Health] is obviously convinced by the data and they acted very quickly. They are undertaking their own data collection and analysis, and at the same time, looking at possible government policy responses," he stated. "In terms of unlocking value for consumers, the funding model needs to change to allow for private hospitals to provide more out of hospital community care under the auspices and by the staff of the hospitals, so that there is a continuum of care for private sector patients," he explained. "There are salient lessons from the banking Royal Commission. You don't want to get into the same sort of situation in private health, where a patient is being streamed into a particular care pathway, not because it's in their best clinical interests, but because it's in the best financial interest of their insurer," Michael stressed.

🌟 Embracing Person- and Family-Centred Care (PFCC) 🌟 In today's healthcare landscape, the philosophy of Person- and Family-Centred Care (PFCC) is more important than ever. Also known as patient- and family-centred care, this approach transforms how we engage with patients and their families. According to Healthcare Excellence Canada, PFCC fosters "respectful, compassionate, culturally appropriate and competent care that is responsive to the needs, values, beliefs, and preferences" of those we serve. Key Principles of PFCC: Dignity and Respect: Honor the perspectives and cultural backgrounds of patients and families. Information Sharing: Provide complete and unbiased information to empower decision-making. Participation: Encourage active involvement in care and decision-making processes. Collaboration: Work alongside patients and families in policy development and healthcare delivery. PFCC shifts our focus from doing things "to" or "for" patients to doing things "with" them—creating true partnerships that enhance care quality and outcomes. When we embrace PFCC, we’re not just improving patient satisfaction—we’re creating a healthcare experience that feels like a warm hug! 🤗💙 Let’s commit to making healthcare a collaborative journey for everyone involved! 💙 References: Accreditation Canada.
