Healthcare Services in Australia: A Comprehensive Case Study Analysis

This case study delves into the crucial role of healthcare and medical services in Australia, particularly concerning the aging population. It examines the importance of paramedical services, especially ambulance services, in emergency situations, and explores both clinical and population effectiveness in improving patient health. The study further analyzes production and allocation efficiency, procedural and substantive equity, and how these factors contribute to fairness and minimize disparities in healthcare distribution. The case study also provides several recommendations, including improving service delivery, enhancing emergency response capacity, increasing the number of healthcare professionals, and streamlining payment procedures. These suggestions aim to optimize healthcare services and address challenges faced by the system, ultimately improving patient outcomes and the overall well-being of the Australian population. The study concludes by emphasizing the significance of healthcare facilities in individual and community well-being.

CASE STUDY

INTRODUCTION
Health care and medical services plays an important role in every individual's
life. The report presents the importance of health services and how it help to
meet the needs of Australia's aging population. It deals with paramedical
services which are mostly used at the time of emergency and describes how
clinical as well as population effectiveness assist in improving health of
individual patients through medical as well as non- medical services. Further, it
describes how procedural and substantive equity will help in maximising
fairness and minimizing disparities in the distribution of health and work. The
report also gives various suggestions in order to improve those services.

MAIN BODY
 Healthcare services show a crucial role in every person's life. There are so many
services and among all paramedical services are consider one of the most important
health care service.
 Paramedical services refer to those work which are mainly work at a time of
emergency and paramedic is a health care professional who responds at a time of
temporary state and serve outside a hospital.
 Paramedical services such as ambulance plays an important role in medical health
care zone. The scope of Paramedical services in Australia are wide and
qualification needed for ambulance staff in order to run this service in more
effective way.
 Their role is just similar to a nurse who supports doctors rather than operating with
clinical autonomy.

EFFECTIVENESS
Clinical Effectiveness
 Clinical effectiveness means the treatments which are provided by medical services
in order to improve health of individual patients with the help of health care services.
 In Australia, it has been analysed that aging population are more concerned to their
health and as a result, health care services creates direct impact on them.
 The biggest key challenge for wellness system is how to meet the well being needs
of an aging people and to manage a increasing impact of chronic diseases among all.
 Paramedical services deal with that situation where a patient need an ambulance
which take hem to hospitals in peak time so that their treatment will start as soon as
possible.

Population Effectiveness
 According to population effectiveness, health of population can
be improving by providing them proper medical services. The
population of Australia is wide and they all are suffering from
health issues and as a result, there is need to improve clinical as
well as population effectiveness which can be done by providing
governmental schemes .
 Recently, the Australian government also started new ambulance
emergency services which help at the time of crisis and the
effectiveness of these work are improving year by year.

EFFICIENCY
Production Efficiency (Clinical prospective)
To serve the best to their patients, it is necessary for a medical health
services to provide top-quality inputs in low and affordable prices. It is
also analyses that as the income of people raise a production cost of also
increases which creates negative impact on the service facility of a
medical health care.
According to clinical perspective, the team have to work in order to
produce services at such a cheap rate where all the aging people can afford
it.

Production Efficiency (Population Perspective)
 According to population view, the Australian government tried
to improve its effectiveness by introducing new services with
lower rates or cost.
 These work will help an individual to take proper treatment that
creates direct impact on the aging population of a country.
 As a initial input cost becomes low, the output range is
automatically reduced which creates positive impact on people
and it decreases extra expenditure which are using at a time of
treatment and to produce those services or goods which aid
growing generation and these must be provided in lower cost.

Allocation Efficiency
 Allocation efficiency refers to produce those services which
represents consumer preferences.
 Under this, those services are produced up to that point when
the last unit help to provide marginal benefit to their consumers
and it is considered as one of the most effective efficiency tools
for the welfare of health and medical centers.
 As per the people perspective, the Australian government tries
to develop or combine wellness services and other health related
investment such as welfare insurance in order to provide
maximum well being to the population of Australia.

EQUITY
Procedural equity (clinical perspective)
 It is a perception which is related to fairness that must be felt by
customers accompanying to process and procedure
 . According to clinical perspective, paramedical service specially
related to ambulance services help to give proper communication
which further aid to enhance as well as used to resolve disputes.
 These paramedical services related to health care will also provide the
best services to their patients and on the other side, it always tries to
serve its best at the time of emergency.
 There is need to increases paramedical services such as ambulance to
meet out all the objectives of a health care centre

Substantive Equity (clinical perspective)
 In order to minimize the disparities in the distribution of health,
it is necessary to meet out all the objectives of every individual.
 As paramedical services mainly aim is to provide best service to
their patient in order to furnish them with best treatment facility
and this can be done by following proper rules and regulations
which help to give them proper facility.
 According to clinical point of view, it is quite essential to
minimizes all weaknesses which creates obstacles.

Procedural equity (population perspective)
 According to population point of view, government and groups of
community also try to make efforts in order to improve population health.
 In order to make effective and enhance the level of production, government
try to produce different subsidies which help to provide best outcome and
serve according to people's need.
 As per the paramedical services, these are basically help to meet out
individual as well as group need.
 In order to maximizes the fairness in the distribution of service across
groups, these ambulance services aid to provide best services to their
patients so that they get proper facility as soon as possible.

Substantive Equity (population perspective)
 As per the population perspective, it is necessary to minimize all the
disparities which are come in the distribution of health across group.
 There are many services which decreases the effectiveness of health
care system.
 But it is necessary to remove or overcome from al the weaknesses
which creates negative impact on the aging population of Australia.
 HSR always try to assess the design and contribution of personal and
community efforts which help to improve the health of populations.
For example, the government start introducing private health
insurance which help to minimizes the cost or to compensate overall
treatment by insurance company.
