Abstract

The ‘Future Solutions in Australian Healthcare White Paper’ has been developed in collaboration with 21 key healthcare thought leaders to help solve Australia’s major health challenges and guide the future of the healthcare system leading up to 2020. This White Paper offers a ‘big picture’ perspective on future trends. It is a resource for organisational strategy or government policy with provocative ideas for change, which could be utilised by any healthcare leader, organisation or government body in Australia. The scope of this paper is focused more on “what we could be doing”, rather than “how we should be implementing it”. In addition, two specific guidelines have been produced for ‘Prevention Strategies’ and ‘Partnership Development’ as these were common priority areas for many leaders interviewed in the development of this Paper. Collectively, these healthcare thought leaders manage over $8 billion of Australian healthcare expenditure and hold roles that influence over $30 billion of healthcare industry annual turnover. Two practical tools and processes have been developed by Energesse to assist leaders, organisations and governments implement some of the recommendations from this Paper immediately. They are guidelines focused on ‘Prevention Strategies and Wellness Programs’ as well as a ‘Partnership Development Guideline for Healthcare Projects’ to help achieve exponentially positive results. Healthcare leaders can therefore achieve markedly improved health outcomes and return on investment by tailoring relevant ideas and strategies for their own situations and make a positive difference in the health and wellbeing of all Australians.
