Abstract
Nurse-led remote primary healthcare service
Highlights
Phase 2 used semi-structured interviews with key health professionals to verify the population profile, the service delivery models and to gather workforce profile data. This informed the development of the survey tool used in phase 3
A wealth of information was collected in this pilot case study, whereas operational data traditionally is just a count of services and diagnosis, without breaking down the elements of care provided
There was an average of 13 patients per day per nurse and on average patients had three elements of care
Summary
Remote Australia, including areas classified as remote and very remote[1], accounts for 86% of Australia’s land mass but only 3% of the population[2]. The project was a pilot study using a mixed methods exploratory design[4]. The three phases included a desktop research activity, local validation and collection of service provision data.
