Strategic solutions for your services and systems
System reviews
We have extensive experience in system reviews. We undertake horizon scans, including literature reviews of best practice and jurisdictional scans of exemplary service models. We explore stakeholders’ diverse perspectives through broad-ranging consultation strategies and survey techniques.
We undertake quantitative and qualitative analyses using rigorous techniques. Options analysis and scenario modelling enable the exploration of future state opportunities. We crystallise our findings through clear, succinct reports.
Service planning
We have undertaken a wide range of service planning assignments across metropolitan and rural health services. We build our plans on a robust evidence base that includes population health and demographic analyses, analysis of social determinants of health, and current and future service utilisation trends.
Scenario modelling of service utilisation and capacity modelling enables us to explore and workshop multiple planning options with our clients. Gap analysis and consideration of exemplar models of care support the development of innovative and sustainable pathways for the future.
Strategic planning
We apply collaborative planning methods to assess the current state and seek innovative and evidence-informed strategic priorities. Through co-design, we bring key stakeholders on the planning journey to develop relevant and responsive strategic planning directions with targeted strategic objectives supported by an implementable roadmap.
How can we help
System planning
We apply systems thinking to policy and program development, use robust analytics, and engage widely with stakeholders to generate integrated solutions.
Service planning
We implement robust methodologies to understand community needs and analyse service planning requirements. We effectively engage with stakeholders and develop future-focused service plans at the regional, area, and entity levels.
Workforce planning
We understand the drivers of workforce demand across clinical disciplines and the factors that influence the supply pipeline. We explore future opportunities for more effective and efficient health service delivery supported by a sustainable workforce.
Strategic planning
We use strategic planning methodologies to explore current state dynamics and identify future opportunities. Co-designed planning establishes realistic and innovative priorities underpinned by implementable objectives appropriate to the local context.
New and innovative models of care
We undertake evidence-informed horizon scanning to assess innovation potential, build upon existing strengths, and overcome current challenges. Co-design processes enable stakeholder participation in the discovery and distillation of future models.
Population health planning
We conduct demographic analyses and assess social determinants of health to review current and future population health needs.
Quantitative analysis
We apply robust analytics to quantitatively assess diverse and large data sets. We summarise outputs to provide relevant and meaningful insights.
Qualitative analysis
We use various techniques to gather and interpret qualitative data from stakeholder feedback. We distil the range of issues into thematic summaries with a clear narrative.
Stakeholder engagement
We engage responsively and respectfully with the diversity of stakeholders relevant to each project. We use advanced facilitation techniques and dynamic interview styles to explore stakeholders’ views and perspectives.
Scenario development
We develop scenarios and model options to explore alternatives and future opportunities.
