Benefits for Hospitals
- Hospitals will be able to measure the health gain provided by each
clinician.
- Hospitals will also be able to demonstrate the temporary reduction
in functional health status caused by invasive diagnostic tests and
major operative procedures by utilising the 'acute' form of the SF-36,
thereby highlighting the major overlooked piece of evidence based medicine
that hospitals 'first do harm' or cause health loss to achieve 'later
health gain'.
- The clinician’s awareness that their individual health gain
is now being measured is predicted to cause an immediate change in behaviour
toward avoiding high risk invasive procedures in high risk patients,
saving millions of dollars in inappropriate admissions.
- U.S.-style managed care organisations are already using these techniques
and a failure of our hospital clinicians to measure health outcomes
will put our equitable and caring Medicare fee-for-service system at
risk.
