Better than a crystal ball? Using simulation to foresee emerging issues in the Australian Healthcare System

Abstract:
A change in the national government of Australia in 2007 lead to a process of review and reform in healthcare which is now being implemented. The Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA) ran a simulation exercise to model the likely impact of the planned reforms. This paper describes the background to these changes, the process of consultation and implementation of the reforms, and the results of the reforms, and the results of the simulation exercise. The process identified the risks inherent in the reform and the need to address long term structural issues in the Australian health care system in order to ensure optimal patient-centred care.

Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
