The Liberal Government is reforming our health system to deliver the healthcare Tasmanians need and deserve.
Today I launched the Tasmanian HealthPathways, an online web service which aims to provide Tasmanians with better connected health services, assist in the diagnosis of illness and prompt referrals for treatment.
Health professionals across Tasmania already have access to this valuable resource and while it has been well received, we know we can do more.
There are more pathways to be developed and I urge clinicians to embrace this initiative, integrate it into their regular practice and continue to contribute to its development.
Tasmanian HealthPathways is supporting wider health reform currently underway.
Our One State, One Health System, Better Outcomes reform is about putting the needs of patients back where they belong – at the forefront of every decision.
We have already released an issues paper setting out the challenges Tasmania faces. This will lead into the development of a White Paper next year that will clearly set out the priorities for health and what health services will look like in the future.
We are now on the path to delivering the health system Tasmanians deserve, one that is safe and sustainable.
