The Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA) welcomed the opportunity to respond to the Aboriginal Health Services Quality Use of Medicines and Pharmacy Support – Discussion paper.
To achieve a healthy Australia supported by the best possible healthcare system, AHHA recommends Australia reorientate the healthcare system over the next 10 years by enabling outcomes-focused and value-based healthcare. As described in AHHA’s blueprint for health reform, Healthy people, healthy systems this requires:
- A nationally unified and regionally controlled health system that puts patients at the centre;
- Performance information and reporting that is fit for purpose;
- A health workforce that exists to serve and meet population health needs; and
- Funding that is sustainable and appropriate to support a high-quality health system.
AHHA provides the following feedback to the discussion paper within this context.
