Principles and Models for Engagement with Consumers in Healthcare
About this subject
Upon completion of this subject, the student should be able to:
- Explain and apply differing concepts and models of health for individuals, families and communities
- Use a range of communication strategies to engage with consumers in healthcare
- Apply engagement models to design and implement innovative communication strategies with consumers in healthcare.
- Module 1: Clinical governance and quality improvement systems to support partnering with consumers in their comprehensive care development and delivery
- Module 2: Partnering with consumer in their care
- Module 3: Health Literacy
- Module 4: Developing & Delivering Comprehensive Care
- Module 5: Partnering with Consumers in Organisational Design and Governance
- Module 6: Minimising Harm
In this subject, we investigate healthcare principles and models for engagement between healthcare users, their carers and family, and professionals. The importance of consumer engagement and its association with effective, sustainable organisational governance systems is studied. This involves examining theories, systems, processes and actions for partnering with consumers and delivering comprehensive care.
To operationalise these requirements, this subject investigates the application of the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Partnering with Consumers and Comprehensive Care Standards. Their dependency and integration with other standards in the NSQHS are also reviewed.
