Technology in health care: are we delivering on the promise? Australian Health Review invites contributions for an upcoming issue on information management and information and communication technology in health care. Submission deadline: 15 May 2007 Despite a reputation for less spending on information and communication technologies (ICT), the health care sector has an imperative to ensure the ?right? information has been made available and accessible to the ?right? person at the ?right? time. While there is increasing evidence that the strategic application of ICT in innovative ways can improve the effectiveness of health care delivery, we don?t often discuss the substantial changes to the way health care organisations operate that are required for best practice information management. In an upcoming issue, Australian Health Review is looking to publish feature articles, research papers, case studies and commentaries related to information management and information and communication technologies in health care. We are particularly interested in papers that report on the successes, or failures, of initiatives in Australia and New Zealand that have brought together the research, the technology and the clinical, managerial and organisational expertise. Submissions related to international initiatives with lessons for Australia and New Zealand will also be welcomed. Submissions can be short commentaries of 1000 to 2000 words, or more comprehensive reviews of 2000 to 4000 words. Please consult the AHR Guidelines for Authors for information on formatting and submission. The deadline for submission is 15 May 2007.

Health Review

THIS IS THE FOURTH ISSUE of Australian Health Review which has featured a ?Models of Care? section; now a regular section of the Journal. As 2007 draws to a close, the breadth of formalised care models (such as self-care management, case management and disease management) being implemented in the Australian health care system continues to be publicised. The number of Australian studies which evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of care model interventions is increasing. Being the optimist, I predict that the rate of publication of these studies will also increase. This is fundamental because the value of any intervention needs carefully constructed evaluation that enables results to be debated by experts in the public domain.

Health Review

In this issue of Australian Health Review, the contributing authors explore the issues associated with their attempts to bridge the well recognised gap between research and practice in health policy and management. We have heard that it took nearly 200 years from the time that a cure was found for scurvy to the time when the new practices were adopted by the British navy.1 Perhaps the timeframes are not as long, but there still appears to be little evidence of research informing policy development and management practice in health care. There have been discussions over many years in many disciplines on the most appropriate ways to bridge this gap.

THE CITATION for Ken Donald?s recent and well deserved award of an Order of Australia reads ?For service to medicine as an academic and administrator, particularly as a contributor in the fields of pathology and community health?. A true enough statement but hardly sufficient for such a diverse career and lifetime of contributions in so many different fields. In this issue of Australian Health Review we include a collection of papers to honour Professor Donald.

Health Review

IT HAS TAKEN MORE THAN 30 YEARS for Australian Health Review to evolve into the prestigious professional journal that it is today. In the early years, the Australian Healthcare Association, the Australian College of Healthcare Executives and the Australian Public Health Association each recognised the need for a publication to facilitate dissemination of ideas, publish research results, report on innovations and encourage active debate on health care issues. Each struggled in their own way, at times separately, at times collectively, and various attempts were made at commercialisation. The journal as it is known today was first published in September 1978. In recognition of the collective effort that has been made by many to establish and manage this professional journal, past editors of AHR and its predecessor publications were invited to contribute an article for this collection. Not all were able to be located and not all were able to accept the invitation. However, it is a pleasure to present this collection of interesting and diverse reflections from my colleagues.

THIS ISSUE of Australian Health Review has a primary focus on meeting needs for ongoing health care for people with chronic conditions. The first paper in this issue is our n = 1 feature written by Claire Williams. Claire provides a personal account of her experiences as a carer. Her story is not uncommon ? while often made to feel like an intruder in the formal care processes of her partner, with very little support, she is then required to deliver, organise and coordinate care when her partner is discharged from the system.

BackgroundPreventative medicine has become a central focus in primary care provision, with greater emphasis on education and access to health care screening. The Department of Health reports existing health inequalities and inequalities in access within ethnic minority groups. Studies assessing the value of community engagement in primary care have reported variable outcomes in term of subsequent service utilisation.AimTo consider the benefit of community-based health screening checks to improve access and health outcomes in minority ethnic groups.MethodAn open community health screening event (n = 43), to allow targeted screening within an ethnic minority population. Screening included BP, BMI, BM and cholesterol. Results were interpreted by a healthcare professional and counselling was provided regarding relevant risk factors. Post-event feedback was gathered to collate participant opinion and views.ResultsSeventy-nine per cent of participants were from ethnic minority backgrounds: 64% were overweight or obese and 53% of participants were referred to primary care for urgent review following abnormal findings. All those referred would not have accessed healthcare without the event referral. All (100%) participants believed it improved health education and access to health care.ConclusionThis study clearly demonstrates the value of targeted community-led screening and education events in public health promotion. There was a significant benefit in providing community-based screening. There is a need for a longitudinal analysis to determine the impact on health outcomes and long-term access to healthcare provision.
