Right now, implementation of the review’s recommendations is a key priority. The review envisages a work program over three years to fully implement and embed the range of recommendations that target best practice data management and reporting. That is why I am also tabling an implementation plan to accompany the outcomes report today.
The implementation plan tabled today details the first six months of the work program to December 2018. There will be rolling six-monthly updates to provide information on ACT Health’s progress and to detail activities for the next six months. The first implementation plan details priority activities that will address the review’s nine key recommendations.
The completion of the system-wide data review marks the beginning of an exciting new journey for ACT Health. We have already seen a number of notable outcomes as a result of the review, with the foundations of robust data, reporting frameworks and processes now set. Throughout the review ACT Health met all external reporting requirements, including for the report on government services. This will continue, with all reporting requirements continuing to be met.
Quarterly performance reporting, starting with the first quarter of the 2018-19 financial year, will be reinstated. The review has provided ACT Health with the potential to transform the delivery of health care in the ACT community. Work is underway to transform the way ACT Health produces and shares data with consumers.
We want the community to be able to learn more about the accessibility, effectiveness and quality of our health system. We have an exciting opportunity now to make access to data more transparent and fundamentally reshape the way the ACT community understands our health system. This ultimately sets the scene for opportunities like the territory-wide sharing of data that I hope will empower patients and support clinicians and staff to provide the best possible health care they can.
In conclusion, I would like to commend ACT Health on the completion of the review, which has been an enormous piece of work. The ACT government acknowledges the key findings resulting from the review and accepts all nine recommendations, including the road map of key future activities.
ACT Health will now focus on delivering the comprehensive implementation plan. This will ensure that ACT Health continues to work to deliver high quality data management and reporting practices and healthcare outcomes. I am pleased to table the following papers:
