APHCRI Linkage & Exchange Travelling Scholarship - Chronic Disease Management Models as Examples of Organisational Developmental Approaches in Primary Care
During 2008 Professor James Dunbar and Professor Prasuna Reddy travelled to the United States visiting medical faculties, public health institutes and private health research and consulting organisations at the University of Washington, Dartmouth College, Harvard Business School, Indiana University School of Medicine, the Institute for Family Health New York, University of North Carolina, Kaiser Permanente Colorado and RAND Corporation. Their visit was aimed at increasing understanding of organisational development (OD), its practice and its effectiveness in optimising the primary health care workforce. They found convincing evidence of OD's use in the general economy and for its contribution to chronic disease management and improvement in quality and safety.
