Next steps

What our Transformed System Looks Like: Next Steps Nothing will move or reconfigure until capacity has been unlocked across the system. To support this, work has already started on Emergency Care pathways, Elective Surgery, and Mental Health pathways. The Royal Adelaide Hospital is the major complex multi-trauma 24-hour Emergency Department for the state The Women’s and Children’s Hospital will continue to provide 24/7 major emergency and trauma care for children. Two other major 24-hour Emergency Departments at Flinders Medical Centre and Lyell McEwin Hospital

What our Transformed Health System Looks Like 24-hour Emergency Departments at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Modbury Hospital Noarlunga Emergency Department will become a 24-hour Community Emergency Department and will continue to provide care to the community

What our Transformed Health System Looks Like Three dedicated elective surgery centres at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Noarlunga Hospital and Modbury Hospital with surgery at other hospitals Noarlunga Hospital will be day surgery only Day surgery continues at other sites Detailed modelling needs to occur

What our Transformed Health System Looks Like A 24-hour on site acute stroke team at the Royal Adelaide Hospital (then the new Royal Adelaide Hospital) with dedicated stroke services 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week at Flinders Medical Centre and Lyell McEwin Hospital Services from Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre and St Margaret’s Rehabilitation Hospital to be integrated into our major hospitals

Daw House Hospice will be relocated, in consultation with clinicians and the community.

Transforming Health Governance Structure 19

STAFF AND UNION ENGAGEMENT AND CONSULTATION This is critical to successfully transform our health system. Next Steps describes our commitment to genuine and respectful engagement and consultation.

It will detail our commitment to: Creating and sustaining a positive culture where staff are valued, and confident that their input will be genuinely sought and listened to. Not initiating change where there is evidence it would result in patient harm. Enabling consultation through transparent and consistent pathways and consultative arrangements, including a Peak Consultation Forum. Providing staff with sufficient time to understand proposed changes and provide their response, as well as supporting them through the change that follows.

Implementation

Indicative timeline Implementation of main service changes and moves starts 2015/16 to 2018/2019, but only if capacity is created Beyond this, Transforming Health is a journey of continuous improvement applied across the system

Unlocking capacity System changes will only occur once enough capacity has been created to accommodate these changes –Patient access and flow improvement initiatives will assist in streamlining the journey of patients through the system –It will unlock capacity across metropolitan hospitals We cannot move or change services until beds are available –No changes to ED flows or Ambulances until bed capacity available

Priorities Stroke Acute Coronary Syndrome Emergency Departments Elective Surgery Mental Health Orthogeriatrics Neonatal Care Paediatric Surgery

Education and Training Education and Training will support and underpin our transformative capacity. Our workforce planning will identify the capacity we require now and into the future Our workforce development and investment will focus on building these core capabilities Our culture will be based upon the principles of a Learning Organisation, so that all parts of our system are empowered to innovate in achieving quality care. Our partnerships with Universities and other Teaching Organisations will ensure that the impacts on students and trainees is well managed.

Research Research is an integral part of a high quality health system. It is key to delivering our vision for Transforming Health. With our Clinicians, Universities and Research Partners including SAMHRI, we are committed to leading the translation of research into clinical practice. A specific Research, Education and Translation focus will be at the highest level of our governance of Transforming Health.
