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.

Designing teams that work.

This paper describes the development of clinical improvement teams in a multi-disciplinary acute health care setting. The process included an information-gathering phase that enabled a match of team structure and leadership to staff skills and experience. It was found that an environment that supported collaborative practice and shared decision-making was critical to staff support of the teams and the outcomes achieved.
