Chair’s Report Northern Health provides quality care to residents in Victoria’s fastest growing, northern growth corridor. We provide care to some 500,000 people living in Melbourne’s northern suburbs and to rural and regional centres north of Melbourne. Our five campuses, Broadmeadows Health Service, Bundoora Extended Care Centre, Criagieburn Health Service, Panch Health Service and The Northern Hospital provide care throughout all stages of life and in a variety of settings from acute and sub acute, to community based and in-home services. Northern Health continues to adapt to the needs of the community and during this last year, my final one as Chair of the Northern Health Board, it has been particularly rewarding to see significant organisational change take place in response to these ever increasing demands on our services. Since 2005 when I came to Northern Health, I am particularly proud of some of the major achievements Northern Health has made including: • the opening of the Day Oncology Service at The Northern Hospital to provide chemotherapy services to people in their local area; • the opening of Craigieburn Health Service enabling the delivery of sophisticated healthcare services to an area historically under-resourced and growing rapidly; • implementation of the HealthSMART technology program, an integrated patient and financial management information system; • The Northern Hospital - Stage 2A Capital Development which delivered two new medical wards, a refurbished Paediatric Ward, and a redesigned Paediatric Outpatients area, as well as the crucial expansion to the Outpatients Department; • the opening of the Medical Assessment and Planning Unit (MAPU) at The Northern Hospital, which receives medical inpatients for observation, care and treatment prior to transfer to a ward, another care facility or home. Patients receive intensive treatment by physicians, nurses and allied health staff for up to 48 hours, streamlining care and improving health outcomes; • the Transit Lounge at The Northern Hospital where we can care for patients waiting for ambulance transport home or elsewhere, allowing us to promptly prepare another bed for patients awaiting admission; • the development and implementation of the “Time-out” process in operating theatres to ensure that the correct procedure is carried out on the correct patient; • the implementation of ‘Centres Promoting Health Independence’ and ‘Improving Care for Older People’ initiatives which aim to move to a more person-centred approach for older patients; • extensive redevelopment and refurbishment of Bundoora Extended Care Centre; • the Client Patient Folder system was implemented, making Northern Health the first Victorian health service to have completed the full implementation of a scanned medical record within all campuses. The new scanned medical record replaces the existing hard copy medical records and provide clinical staff with immediate access to patient information from every PC within Northern Health; • the ongoing planning and development of the Northern Health Academic and Research Precint; • the redevelopment of the Short Stay Unit and After Hours GP Clinic at The Northern Hospital; • the $19.4m Mental Health extension at The Northern Hospital; and • The $2.5m, six bed maternity expansion. 2 09/10 Northern Health Annual Report
It has been a privilege to serve this community and to do so with so with many exceptional people. To the members of the Northern Health Board, who I have had the wonderful opportunity to work so closely with to develop and enhance Northern Health’s future, I thank you for your dedication and commitment. The demands on Northern Health continue to change with increasing speed and intensity and being able to work with people who hold a similar vision has made my role leading the Board, a pleasure. I extend sincere thanks to the Northern Health Executive Management team, particularly during the past year, when they have shown sheer determination and strength. The financial challenges of the last 12 months and the incredible turnaround achieved, through exceptional leadership is an indication of the great team leading this terrific organisation. My thanks too to all staff members across our campuses who can continue to be proud to work for Northern Health as we provide the right health services at the right time and create a healthier northern community.
