Implementing an Improved Community-based Primary Health Care Strategy
Improvements in primary health care are vital to strengthen the overall health system. With Minister Roxon’s agenda to develop an Integrated Primary Health Care Strategy, and with the commission of the National Primary Health Care Strategy ERG and the National Health and Hospitals Reform Council, the focus to develop and implement an improved community-based primary health care system has never been stronger.

To reach this crucial reform hurdles and barriers need to be addressed and examined. Integrated Primary Health Care 2009, will look at reforms in funding, governance, e-health and working partnerships to enable an Integrated Primary Health Care Strategy. This conference will look at how a primary health care strategy can achieve a patient centric system that is accessible and beneficial for all.

It will examine existing successful models to understand how equitable community based care can be established nationally. Providing a platform of consultation for stakeholders the conference will bring together opinions and best practices from federal and state governments, local communities, divisions of general practice, nurses and the patient, to ensure the implementation and delivery of a Strategy that improves patient outcomes with long term success.
