Family Health Teams: A Solution for Tasmania's Health Services
Family Health Teams: A Needed Shift in Tasmania
Healthy solutions are essential for improving health services across Tasmania. A suggestion is the establishment of family health teams where all health professionals are fully salaried by the state government, while the federal government covers facilities and maintenance costs. This innovative model ensures that doctors and health professionals receive benefits like sick pay and pensions without the stress of administrative responsibilities.
The Impact of Family Health Teams
- Boosts healthcare accessibility: By abolishing the fee-for-service model, these teams can offer a holistic approach to primary health care.
- Promotes collaboration: Team members can support each other, improving patient care.
As elections approach, political candidates must prioritize health care and homelessness to ensure these critical issues remain at the forefront of public discourse.
