SUMMARY:Workshop 2: St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne (SVHM) CareSynergy - Barriers to Discharge from Specialist Clinics
DESCRIPTION:Date\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSt Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne (SVHM) invites GPs to attend 2 workshops (25th March and 27th May 2025) to explore barriers to discharge from specialist clinics and associated interventions to overcome these barriers. \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, they developed resources to facilitate ‘Supported Discharge’ from specialist clinics for patients with chronic Hep B (not on treatment) and those who had undergone bariatric surgery. These resources drew on established guidelines and input from our gastroenterology and bariatric surgery teams to develop handover tools. \n\n\n\nThis work highlighted the broad range of barriers to discharge\, and served as a prompt for St Vincent’s current project ‘Supported Discharge from Specialist Clinics’: A Study of Feasibility and Anticipated Value\, which is funded by Eastern Melbourne PHN’s CareSynergy Program. CareSynergy is aimed at improving integration between hospitals and primary care across the North East Metro. \n\n\n\nThe SVHM CareSynergy project is undertaking stakeholder consultation (including GP workshops) and other research to identify \n\n\n\n– barriers to discharge from clinics\, and \n\n\n\n– resources/interventions/relationships which overcome these barriers \n\n\n\nWe will then develop a model(s) of care which incorporates these adaptations. \n\n\n\nThe project seeks to promote a sense of collaboration between hospitals and primary care\, contribute to the efficient utilisation of specialist clinics and optimise access for additional patients requiring non-GP specialist assessment/care. \n\n\n\nWorkshop Details: \n\n\n\n\nWorkshop 1 – identifying barriers and proposing solutions\n\n8:30 am – 11 am\, Tuesday 25th of March 2025\n\n\n\nSt Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne\, Fitzroy Campus\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop 2 – review of proposed care model(s)\n\n8:30 am – 10:30\, Tuesday 27th of May 2025\n\n\n\nSt Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne\, Fitzroy Campus OR via Microsoft Teams meeting (to be decided)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou will be remunerated for your time at a rate of $150/hour (+GST) including 0.5 hours of pre-reading. \n\n\n\nIf you are interested and available to attend\, please reply via rachael.sutherland@svha.org.au or to joint project leads Cath White catherine.white@svha.org.au and Meg Marmo meg.marmo@svha.org.au. for this event.
