@AElshaug Note the width of Australia’s largest river to the onsite dams - inland rivers - a most precious undervalued national asset.

This time with the y-axis.

@russwinn66 @DimopoulosTara @jfredlevesque @HCNSW @belmac_IC @laqwalsh @markjdoughty @CHFofAustralia In our fragmented health care system sometimes low value care sometimes arise because we can’t/offer better value options

@DimopoulosTara @jfredlevesque @HCNSW @belmac_IC @laqwalsh @markjdoughty @CHFofAustralia Patients need to be informed to help with decision making. Some patients will want input some will leave it to clinicians. Figuring out who’s who is important

yes @jfredlevesque Evidence shows that involving patients in care decisions leads to better outcomes and reduces variation, but are we measuring who uses #SharedDecisionMaking and its relationship to #ClinicalVariation? #UCVChat

@HelenKKulas @jfredlevesque @kimlsutherland3 We need more granular clinical data that incorpates more of the complexity of patients health status.

To address unwarranted clinical variation we have to be able to identify it. Simply doing this in the context of clinical guideline concordance is inadequate in chronic disease, &vcomplex when it comes to comorbidities. How do we do better @jfredlevesque @kimlsutherland3 #UCVChat

@HelenKKulas @jfredlevesque @HCNSW Informed consumers essential but we need to work on how to empower them in making decisions about care.

@jfredlevesque @HCNSW We need to support consumers to build their health literacy so they can participate in decisions about their care in a way that starts to shift the power dynamic between patient and clinician. Otherwise the impact on UCV will not be maximal #UCVChat
