Advancing Tasmania’s Health puts forward the following strategic ambitions to guide the future direction of the Tasmanian health system:
• Better and More Accessible Community Care • Strengthening Prevention • Partnering with Consumers and Clinicians • Building the Health Workforce • Delivering the Health Infrastructure of the Future The need for health services is continuing to grow, driven by an ageing population. Attracting and retaining health professionals to service this need can be difficult, particularly in regional and rural areas. There is also an ongoing need to invest in new and existing health infrastructure to ensure it meets the growing healthcare needs of the Tasmanian community. Enabling people to receive healthcare in the right place is vital to addressing the challenges. While there will always be a need to invest in acute hospital facilities, enabling care to be provided in alternative settings when appropriate, such as in the home or community, will lead to better patient outcomes and at lower cost to the health system. |
