Patient and Family Perspectives on Statutory Duty of Candour Following Serious Adverse Patient Safety Events
Supporting Aged Care Worker Wellbeing
Aged care work is physically and emotionally demanding. Workers can feel disempowered, vulnerable and at increased risk of experiencing work‐related stress. This in turn can result in sub‐optimal care and staff shortages. This study aimed to investigate what provisions exist within Australia's strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards to support aged care worker safety and wellbeing. Document analysis was conducted on the new Aged Care Quality Sta…

This study aimed to identify characteristics of members of GDM support communities on Facebook, explore the uptake and value of the internet by the members of online support c…
Do young people living with type-1 diabetes experience integrated care? The importance of integrating psychological support into interdisciplinary teams
Introduction: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic, incurable autoimmune condition, typically diagnosed in childhood and managed in paediatric services until ages 16–18 years, when young people (YP) transition to adult services. Maintaining tight glucose control and avoiding hypoglycaemia is challenging around this time as YP face psychosocial challenges and significant life-stage changes. International guidelines suggest that YP and their clinical…
Understanding Type 1 diabetes models of care for children and young adults in Australia
Introduction: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a life-long condition typically diagnosed in childhood. Clinical practice guidelines recommend comprehensive multidisciplinary team-based (MDT) care led by paediatric endocrinologists. However, experiences and opinions of health professionals about the implementation of T1D MDTs in Australia are currently unknown. Aims: To describe health service teams caring for children and youth with T1D in Australia, and…

Many studies have focused on …
A Mixed Methods Evaluation of the Statutory Duty of Candour in Victorian Health Services
BACKGROUND: A statutory duty of candour (SDC) was introduced in 2022 in the Australian state of Victoria to increase openness and honesty with patients and families about healthcare adverse events. SDC requires each healthcare service entity by law to provide the patient or their family or carer who experiences an adverse event with; a written account of the facts, an apology, a description of the health service's response to the event, and the s…
Outpatient Virtual Care Among People Living With and Beyond Cancer From Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Backgrounds in Australia
BACKGROUND: Virtual care is increasingly being used to deliver outpatient cancer services, yet people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds can experience inequities in accessing these services. A range of complex and context-specific factors impact the effectiveness of virtual care and equity in its use and outcomes. This study draws on the methodological principles of realist evaluation to provide contextual understandin…

Issues and complexities in safety culture assessment in healthcare
The concept of safety culture in healthcare—a culture that enables staff and patients to be free from harm—is characterized by complexity, multifacetedness, and indefinability. Over the years, disparate and unclear definitions have resulted in a proliferation of measurement tools, with lack of consensus on how safety culture can be best measured and improved. A growing challenge is also achieving sufficient response rates, due to “survey fatigue,…
Hospital organizational change
Background: Hospital organizational change can be a challenging time, especially when staff do not feel informed and ready for the change to come. A supportive workplace culture can mitigate the negative effects allowing for a smooth transition during hospital organizational change. In this paper, we test an exploratory path model by which teamwork culture influences staff attitudes in feeling informed and ready for change, and which are ultimate…
The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) and the pandemic
BACKGROUND: Preventative healthcare is crucial for improving individual patient outcomes and is integral to sustainable health systems. The effectiveness of prevention programs is enhanced by activated populations who are capable of managing their own health and are proactive to keep themselves well. However, little is known about the level of activation among people drawn from general populations. We used the Patient Activation Measure (PAM) to …
DAta Linkage to Enhance Cancer Care (DaLecc)
Cancer is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, accounting for 250 Disability-Adjusted Life Years and 10 million deaths in 2019. Minimising unwarranted variation and ensuring appropriate cost-effective treatment across primary and tertiary care to improve health outcomes is a key health priority. There are few studies that have used linked data to explore healthcare utilisation prior to diagnosis in addition to post-diagnosis pattern…
Consumer and Provider Perspectives on Hospital in the Home
The delivery of acute health care has changed with the adoption of new technologies to meet changing community needs. In response to this, hospital systems and governments have invested in alternative models of care, including hospital in the home (HITH), where acute care that would typically require inpatient treatment is provided in the patient’s home. The academic literature presents evidence for comparable or improved patient outcomes associa…

Women's Perceptions of Journeying Toward an Unknown Future With Breast Cancer
Breast cancer risk classifications are useful for prognosis, yet little is known of their effect on patients. This study clarified women's understandings of risk as they "journeyed" through the health care system. Breast cancer patients and women undergoing genetic investigation were recruited ( N = 25) from a large UK Health Board, 2014-2015, completing a "Book of Experience," and Bio-photographic elicitation interviews. Stakeholder and Particip…
When Patients Tell Their Own Stories
Malignant melanoma is an aggressive, recalcitrant disease. Its impact on people can be compounded by the physical and psychosocial consequences of medical management. Providing melanoma patients with patient-centered care that is effective, safe, and supportive throughout their journey requires knowledge of patients' progressive experiences and evolving perspectives. With ethical approval, we undertook a meta-narrative study of 214 experiential a…
Sidestepping questions of legitimacy
Empirical studies of community participation in health services commonly tie effectiveness to the perceived legitimacy of community representatives among health staff. This article examines the underlying assumption that legitimacy is the major pathway to influence for community representatives. It takes a different vantage point from previous research in its examination of data (primarily through 34 in-depth interviews, observation and recording…

Patients as story-tellers of healthcare journeys
There are gaps in our comprehension of patients' subjective experiences as they engage with and transit through the healthcare environments implicated in their treatment trajectories. Patients' stories, unlike patient experience data gathered in questionnaires and surveys, express the deeply personal, narrative nature of the journeys that patients take, creating opportunities for qualitative healthcare research. Yet narrative capabilities and pro…
Competition, Productivity and the Cult of ‘More is Good’ in the Australian Health Care Sector
Economic policy discussions emphasise growth, the maximisation of output, efficiency and the pursuit of rational self‐interest. Many policymakers, bureaucrats and managers in health care have been influenced by economists who believe that competition and the marketplace will provide maximum output and efficiency. Thus, for some, health care involves treating more and more patients for the same money. They argue for strategies such as reducing was…

Real Talk
Realist evaluation is a method increasingly adopted to provide an understanding of how and why a program works, for whom, and under what circumstances. Initial program theories (IPT) are the crucial starting point of any realist evaluation, however descriptions about how they are developed in practice remain under-reported in the published literature. This article argues for the value of genuine research-group conversations using David Bohm's con…
How Do We Work as Researchers in the Real World? Mapping the Trajectory of Methodological Decision Making in Health Services Research
To the disbenefit of qualitative health services research, the generation of study design is too often implied as a logical consequence of aims or questions. Limited space is afforded to describing the critical processes we go through to devise our research for the ever-complex services we seek to understand. This article offers an in-depth examination of qualitative health services research design and the considerations inherent in the process. …
Identifying the Elements in the Australian Health Service Management Revolution
Several commentators have noted the accelerating turbulence occurring in health care at the present time. Indisputably, hospitals in Australia are going through a significant period of transition. It is argued in this paper that the magnitude of these changes will result in those organisations that we call hospitals in the future only barely resembling their counterparts in the recent past. A description of the movement to reform health care poli…

Health‐care Reform Under President Clinton
President Clinton's proposals to reform health‐care in the United States have stimulated unprecedented levels of discussion amongst stakeholders, commentators, policy analysts and the media. It seems obvious that there is a need to reform a system that consumes 14% of gross domestic product, yields only OECD‐average morbidity and mortality rates and fails to provide coverage to millions of people. Nevertheless, forces against change are marshalli…

Product Costing, Managerialism and Organisational Learning
Much that is written on product costing is prescriptive. Such literature suggests normative ways to accomplish the tasks of identifying, classifying, determining and using product costs. Some critics might argue that this is managerialist, top — down thinking which should be rejected. Others might suggest that normative, prescriptive approaches ignore complex social factors such as the exercise of power and influence, or that the outputs of healt…
