TAC Allied Health Value Based Healthcare Change Pilot
Expressions of Interest (EOI) for members working in the TAC scheme
Allied Health Professions Australia (AHPA) seeks expressions of interest from 20 clinicians from professions able to provide services under the Transport Accidents Commission (TAC) scheme in Victoria and provide services to accident rehabilitation patients.
Adopting a value-based care approach is a policy priority of the Australian Federal Department of Health and the state and territory governments via the 2020-25 National Health Reform Agreement.
To understand the impact of pivoting to adopt the new model on practitioners, AHPA seeks to pilot a model of change that can be scaled and replicated for all allied health professionals.
AHPA has been awarded a TAC Value-Based Healthcare grant to run two pilot studies:
- A control group of 10 clinicians will trial a limited implementation of PREMs and PROMs with rehabilitation clients over 12 months;
- An active group of 10 clinicians will commit to participating in an upskilling program designed to improve their understanding of value-based healthcare, patient experience improvement and change management. These participants will be compensated for their training time and receive CPD credits for their completed courses. Training will be provided at no charge to the participant. Multiple clinicians applying from one clinic or practice are encouraged.
For further information, please refer to the documents below.
Background and practitioner information sheet
An information session will be held at 8 am on Wednesday 13/12/2023 for practitioners interested in participating in the value-based healthcare pilot study.
