What does it mean to be part of our company? SOF grounded in these V&Vs
Key points to hit:
This is about delivering on our vision Innovating Healthcare. Transforming Lives.
We expect our leaders to embrace this opportunity
This will provide an opportunity to take our model to the rest of the world
Reminder – this is SOF
Animation 1: Things they’ve been involved in – quick summary (e.g. raising patient satisfaction, VMAT)
Animation 2: Things they would be less aware of (Destiny, Monarch)
Plan for the rest of the presentation is to review some of the KPIs in more detail and provide update on progress
Situation
Patient: 84 y.o. Italian man with extensive metastatic cancer, widespread pain and a poor quality of life;
Complication
Key issues: Extensive volume of cancer; multiple health issues and comorbidities; Waterlow Score of 26; proximity of cancer to carotid artery, pacemaker in left chest
Technique of choice: Urgent complex palliative radiotherapy, ideally which has a short lead time and short daily couch time
(“See, Plan, Treat”) and 5 day radical Time-to-Tx
There is a serious shortage of access to radiotherapy in the majority of the world.
We in the West have relatively good access to care, with over 8 linacs per million people
However, the rest of the world – over 6 Billion people – have less than 10% that level of access
If developing world was going to get the equivalent access to linacs as Australia – they would need >30,000 linacs as well as staff, bunkers, etc.
In order to be able to help those people, we need a high quality and extremely efficient model, as average incomes in this part of the world are 25% of what they are in the West ($12K vs. $47K USD, adjusted for PPP)
Call out to participants in IQ Scripts and multi-disciplinary workshops
Not through “brute force”, but developing the tools
Call out the South Terrace presentation tomorrow
Thank people for doing culture survey, remind them of commitment to actioning their feedback
That’s enough of me talking about the Service of the Future, as there is plenty more for others to say over the next 24 hours
CCSOF wouldn’t happen without the amazing people around our network – both those who are here tonight and those who aren’t – who are collaborating, innovating and driving great outcomes for our patients and each other. Please take the opportunity to learn about the great work going on around the network, get inspired to do something differently yourself, and most importantly, take the time to build relationships with colleagues from around Australia, the UK and Spain.
