Evidence-based priority setting.

This paper describes evidence-based priority setting and resource allocation undertaken by a Division of the Women's & Children's Hospital, Adelaide during 1998-1999. We describe the methods used to combine program budgeting marginal analysis (PBMA), evidence based and "community values" approaches into one decision-making framework. Previous organisational changes involving the formation of multidisciplinary team and program management were pivotal in setting a framework to successfully complete the priority setting process.

Transforming Allied Health.

In 1995, the Division of Allied Health at the Women's and Children's Hospital Adelaide (WCH) began a process of critical review of its service delivery models and organisational structure in order better to meet the vision and values of the WCH and the needs of consumers. This paper describes the change management process. Barriers to and facilitators of change are highlighted. The outcomes of the change process are described, including the new multidisciplinary team and program-based organisational structure and culture.
