It is vital we all work together to implement solutions to the challenges in health, to ensure Tasmanians get the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
Collaboration requires the sharing of information, as well as ideas. As an initial step to improving the transparency and currency of health information, the next Health Dashboard, which will be released on Friday, will show data for March, April and May. From then on, the Dashboard will be released monthly, meaning in late July, data for June will be made publicly available.
I’m advised the Dashboard will show some encouraging improvements to the elective surgery waitlist, and importantly, since January, the number of patients waiting beyond clinically recommended times has decreased by 14 per cent.
