Health care management

It must be a national plan for registration of health professionals

The AMA is advocating that a single national registration body would work against the provision of quality health services for patients.

It is proposed that individual State/Territory registration bodies are created.  It leaves me scratching my head as to what is so different in the delivery of safe and quality heath care in the various States and Territories, isn’t this just another example of federal and state duplication? 

If we are to create a health system that places the patient at the centre, we must have a national system, ensuring all consumers in Australia are provided with the same high level of quality and safety of care regardless of where they live.  With the growth of e-health it is also important that providers are on even playing fields as more and more patients seek health advice online, also taking into account the mobility of the Australian population.
