This paper proposes a framework for Organisational Performance Measurement (OPM) specifically for non-acute health charities. Based on a systematic review, the framework identifies five key factors and 30 elements to guide the successful implementation of OPM in this sector.

The 2017-18 Primary Health Workforce Needs Assessment Summary Report focuses on the health workforce needs of General Practitioners.

The paper reports on a two-stage Delphi study to identify performance indicators for an Australian charitable health service. It found that stakeholders prioritized quality of care and service user satisfaction above financial performance, suggesting that social and patient-focused outcomes were more highly valued than traditional commercial metrics.

This study evaluated the NSW Rural Resident Medical Officer Cadetship Program, which aims to increase doctors in rural hospitals. It found over half of the cadets surveyed were working in rural areas, and those from a rural background were more likely to choose general practice.

This paper describes the development of a new healthcare model to address the detection and prevention of cervical cancer for Aboriginal women in a regional centre in NSW that serves women from a wide catchment area. It examines the use of a nurse practitioner-led model in an outreach context and also as a way of reducing barriers to access for a service. The paper demonstrates how the strength of healthcare partnerships can be the foundation upon which significant barriers in accessing services are addressed.

This paper uses survival analysis to identify factors associated with rural and remote Australian family physician turnover. It found a higher turnover risk in remote locations and for non-Australian trained physicians. The study suggests policy should consider population size, not just geographic remoteness.

The model seeks to support both the desire of GPs for more predictable and less onerous work commitments and to reduce the need for any significant up front financial investment on their part.
