Improvements in healthcare quality, safety and efficiency require the coordinated involvement and contributions of diverse stakeholder groups, including government agencies, NGOs, professional associations and communities, healthcare delivery organisations and others. Each of these groups has its own constituencies, goals and constraints, and reconciling these to achieve optimal coordination is challenging. Dr Brian Mittman will introduce key challenges encountered by the US Department of Veterans Affairs and other large reform-oriented delivery systems in the US, and will discuss strategies employed to successfully overcome selected challenges as well as barriers still to be addressed.

In this masterclass Professor Jonathan Lomas draws on his extensive work in the field to examine the diffusion, spread and sustainability of proven innovations in health care.Professor Lomas’ masterclass is based on the concept of an innovation adoption chain involving the three interlinked stages of production/evaluation, dissemination and final adoption of innovations. The ideas within the class are drawn from the principles of effective knowledge translation and exchange. The focus is on both individual and organisational issues in creating a more receptive context for innovation through changed structures, processes and cultures.

Biodiversity loss, namely a reduction in the variety of life on Earth, continues relatively unabated worldwide. Biodiversity loss represents far more than a loss to experience nature's beauty or to benefit economically from nature. The simplification of the biosphere has profound and well-known consequences for human well-being. Biodiversity serves as a repository for new medicines and as a source of insights into human disease. It can provide a check up on the spread of infectious diseases and it also delivers a host of goods and services such as food, water and air purification, and regulation of climate.In this lecture, Dr Bernstein presented examples, including evidence from recent emerging infectious diseases in Southeast Asia such as SARS and Nipah virus, that biodiversity is a public health matter. He argued that human well-being is tied to the well-being of all species and that we must take care of biodiversity if we are to take care of ourselves.
This lecture was presented by the Institute for Population Health, ANU College of Medicine, Biology and Environment. Dr Aaron Bernstein's speaking tour was made possible by the Thomas Foundation Conservation Oration presented in partnership with The Nature Conservancy. - Laat meer zien
