CASE STUDIES

The Australian Centre for Value-Based Health Care is developing a series of quality assured best practice case studies which showcase value-based health care initiatives in the Australian context. If you would like to contribute a case study, please contact us at here.

NSW HEALTH: LEADING BETTER VALUE CARE

NSW Health has released two case studies as part of the Leading Better Value Care (LBVC) program, part of NSW Health’s overarching strategy to accelerate the implementation of value based health care. Visit the NSW Health website to learn more about value based healthcare in NSW.

In November 2019, Wagga Wagga Base Hospital in MLHD was selected as a pilot site for the LBVC Bronchiolitis initiative. The pilot was designed to promote standardised treatment and escalation processes based on the NSW Paediatric Guidelines and avoid unnecessary and potentially harmful interventions.

The Knee and Hip Arthritis Service provides evidence-based, person-centred care across primary and public health for patients with hip and knee joint pain related to osteoarthritis. The program has seen marked improvements in patient outcomes.

Bupa enlisted the Australian Healthcare and Hospital Association’s (AHHA) JustHealth Consultants to undertake a review exploring the potential in dentistry to combine telehealth, value-based healthcare and team-based care into a service offering for Bupa customers.
