1. Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Clinical Leadership Structures Summary of Feedback and Revised Proposed Structure June 2015

2. Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Purpose This presentation provides an overview of the feedback received and details of the implementation process of the proposed SALHN Network Clinical Division organisational structure.

3. Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Background >The South Australian public health system (SA Health) has undergone significant structural change over the last several years, as part of ongoing National and State Health reforms. >Historically structures and governance were designed and implemented at a hospital/site level. >SALHN continues to consider moving governance and organisational structures from site to a Network focus, which also supports National Accreditation requirements. >The changes are designed to improve the management of operational requirements, improve local decision making and maintain appropriate levels of timely, safe and quality care, efficiency and cost effectiveness across the Network. >Whilst there may be some local differences, the adoption of clinical streams and Co-Directors is consistent with overseas, interstate and other LHNs. 3

4. Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Consultation Background Proposal to amend the current SALHN structure distributed to stakeholders in July 2014. As part of the consultation process meetings were held with union representatives and staff, and CEO Bulletin published advising of the proposal. Staff were informed of the proposal by way of meetings held with them at the Divisional Management level. Feedback on the proposed model commenced 7 July and concluded 28 July. All stakeholders whether in scope or out of scope were consulted. Mental Health and Allied Health have review processes occurring concurrently within their respective divisions and are out of scope of this review. Due to Transforming Health Reforms being consulted at the time the SALHN Clinical Leadership Structures were put on hold to ensure future structures supported the reforms post consultation. 4

5. Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Proposed SALHN Organisational Structure in July 2014 It was proposed that there will be four (4) Network Clinical Divisions, with the functions of the former Division of Emergency and Perioperative Medicine realigned within those: Women's & Children’s Surgery and Perioperative Medicine Medicine, Cardiac & Critical Care Rehabilitation, Aged Care, Intermediate Care Proposed that leadership of the Network Clinical Divisions will be by way of a partnership between the existing Clinical Director positions and a joint head of division (Co-Director Operations).

6. Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Previously proposed SALHN Organisational Structure – Continued The Clinical Director and Co-Director Operations will be jointly responsible for: managing the human and material resources quality of service provided recruitment, appointment, retention and coordination of the development of all staff establishing policies, goals and objectives of the Division. Two Co-Director Operations classification models proposed: 1. Multi Class - Award Roles and classification (e.g. Nursing / Scientific Officer / Allied Health) 2. Executive Roles and Classification 3. The Co-Director Operations is a new role. There will be a merit based process for the appointment of the Co-Director of Operations role. 4. The Nursing Director at Noarlunga Hospital and the Nursing Director for Surgery (FMC) will not be retained positions. HR Principles will be applied consistent with the SA Health (Health Care Act) HR Manual.

7. Previous Proposed Organisational Chart

8. Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Feedback Received A total of 29 responses from stakeholders was received following the consultation paper being released. These included responses from: Individuals Group responses from clinical divisions Employee Representatives/Unions Key Themes: Strong support for the adoption of clinical leadership structures Clarity was sought around structure below the Medical and Nursing Structures outlined. Some feedback on what structures within the clinical divisions should look like at the next level. Clarity sought over where some units were captured within the clinical divisions.

9. Southern Adelaide Local Health Network General Feedback A Director of Nursing position is required at each individual site in SALHN. Significant feedback from Primary Health Care and Transition Services, highlighting that more consideration was required to consider whether it should be within the Rehabilitation and Aged Care. Support to rename Intermediate Care. Would employees need to relocate? All Nursing Directors should be consistently classified across the network which would require a SALHN wide portfolio and approach. Information required as to future for Noarlunga Hospital as the proposal appears not to provide a vision which creates uncertainty for staff. Further information and clarity required in respect to site management, in particular how the Deputy COO and the DON role at RGH will be built into the governance. Surgical division currently has an Operations Manager but other divisions do not; request consideration to be given to including like positons in other Divisions. Role clarity between the Operations Manager role in Surgical Division and the proposed Co-Director Operations role and questions around the reporting line for the Operations Manager.

11. Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Changes made due to feedback Primary Health will be renamed Intermediate Care.

Nursing staff in Intermediate Care will have a professional reporting line to the Nursing Director Rehabilitation and Aged Care. The Operations Manager in Surgery will be retained due to the complexity and volume of work in Surgery with the role of the Co- Director of Surgery. The duties and responsibilities of the Operations Manager of Surgery to be determined with the Clinical Director and in consultation with staff. Palliative Care will remain under Rehabilitation and Aged Care but will have a closer link with Cancer Services

12. Southern Adelaide Local Health Network A Director of Nursing has been retained at each site, with a stream focus. Co-Director role title will be retained to ensure positions are seen as a joint leadership team. Co-Director role will report to Clinical Director.

14. Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Consideration of comments Stroke and Neurology to become Clinical Neuroscience. For Medicine to consider. Infectious Diseases be designated as a Medical Specialty rather than an Ambulatory Service and to include Infectious Diseases, Microbiology, and Infection Control. – No, under SA Pathology governance. Positions currently funded in Primary Health such as Respiratory nurses, Heart Failure Nurses, Parkinson Disease should report through to Medicine. Yes in future will report to the appropriate division. Clinical improvement should report not only to DMS but also to COO and CEO. Referred to Executive for consideration, outside of Clinical Leadership Structure. Nursing Director of ICCU reports by dotted line to the Medical Head of ICCU. – Yes this is already the case. Trauma Services to sit within Critical Care/Emergency Department. Current leadership structures don’t change sub specialty current reporting lines. Propose a senior nursing position to oversee Cardiovascular Medicine. This will need to be raised via normal business processes with a Business Change Template.

15. Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Consideration of comments Consideration for aligning Endoscopy with perioperative services – Yes this is the case. Question around how the nursing and medical structures align – No change to professional reporting line and strengthens operational alignment. Deputy COO role and DON RGH governance arrangements clarified – Positions are retained, Deputy COO role will support the site management across RGH and Noarlunga.

Cancer should have sub groups of Oncology, Haematology and Radiotherapy – This is to be determined by Clinical Division. Consideration to be given to Clinical Directors having a presence at across the network in both strategic and operational leadership. Accepted and to be managed by the Clinical Directors.
