Opportunities for targetted interventions

The aim of this report is to demonstrate opportunities for targeted interventions for reducing demand on hospital services. Detailed analyses of the key conditions (diabetes complications, asthma, and vaccine preventable influenza and pneumococcal pneumonias) are provided, identifying trends in hospitalisations, urban/rural differentials, regional variations, and variations by the Primary Care Partnerships (PCPs).

Opportunities for targetted interventions in cardiovascular diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

This report presents the results of further analyses of selected ACSCs. These conditions include angina, hypertension, congestive cardiac failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The aim of this report is to demonstrate opportunities for further targeted interventions to reduce demand on hospital services. Detailed analyses of the key conditions are provided, identifying trends in hospitalisations, urban/rural differentials, regional variations, and variations by the Primary Care Partnerships (PCPs).

Opportunities for targetting public health and health service interventions

This report presents further detailed analysis of ACSCs in Victoria. It delivers timely information for regional and rural health planning by providing evidence on differentials in access to primary health care. It supplies, for the first time, regional and community (PCP-level, for example) profiles of ACSCs for community planning and evaluation. The analysis in the report identifies gaps in the delivery of primary health care services in rural and regional Victoria. In this way, it offers opportunities for targeting public health and health services interventions that can decrease access barriers, improve the adequacy of primary care and reduce demand on the hospital system in Victoria.
