Allied Health Improvement Group (B2) 30 & 31 October 2019, Gold Coast Meeting Code HRT1914 Why Participate? Our Allied Health Improvement Group, in partnership with the Australasian Allied Health Benchmarking Consortium (AAHBC) has been collecting and comparing Allied Health activity data for almost 20 years.  The data is used to drive change and innovation in the delivery of patient care.  In 2017 the theme "How to measure patient outcomes under a value based healthcare system, delivered by Allied Health Clinicians in hospitals?“. We benchmarked 5.1 million Allied Hours of service across 900,000 patients looking for service outliers, trying to help identify if more or less is better.  The Allied Health Improvement Group workshop is an excellent forum for discussion and a great opportunity to hear from leading experts in the field and share innovations from our membership. This year’s primary theme is What is the relationship between staff engagement and high value productivity?. How do you measure staff engagement? Do you benchmark your team’s productivity? Is there a correlation across Health Roundtable membership? We will continue to focus on Allied Health activity in hospital for Inpatients, Outpatients and ED patients to identify variation. We will encourage discussion on where Allied activity is considerably different from the group average for a cohort of patients in your hospital. Compare your Allied Health practices with your peers Identify innovative Allied Health strategies that contribute to organisational priorities Share issues and innovations with your colleagues Develop practical action plans to improve your service over the next year Allied Health Reports Available Select Optional Activity B2 on your subscription agreement and return by email to: accounts@healthroundtable.org $A5,250 excl GST Individual delegate venue fees are billed separately.
