Area Health

This article presents the story of the beginning of a movement to improve the perinatal mental health of families in the South Eastern Sydney Area Health Service. The movement is made up of practitioners and consumers who want to improve services. An early initiative was to provide information on appropriate referral procedures for postnatal depression, for General Practitioners (GPs), early childhood nurses and others who may be asked for help by women. A second project was a submission for inpatient accommodation for women with acute psychoses or depression and their infants. The key theme that has emerged is that perinatal mental health is an issue with many disparate causes and effects, some of which health systems can address. The promotion and maintenance of perinatal mental health requires a great deal of collaboration between health professionals from various disciplines. Existing levels of collaboration between services are insufficient and approaches to perinatal mental health should be re-oriented in order to facilitate a move from fragmented care to continuity of care. Primary care is the most appropriate starting point for co-ordinating collaborative efforts. Currently, the focus is completing a Perinatal Mental Health Strategic Plan to be considered in planning mental health services for the South Eastern Sydney Area Health Service.

The Australian National Non-Acute Inpatient Project (NAIP) reported its findingson casemix in rehabilitation and slow stream geriatric medicine in October 1992.It proposed a per diem NAIP classification of 19 classes using six major clinicalgroups and the resource utilisation groups version three activities of daily living index(RUG III ADL index). Weightings were determined based on time spent by clinicalstaff in treating these patients.A quality management study was undertaken in the rehabilitation, geriatrics andpalliative care wards of the Illawarra Area Health Service for three months in 1993,analysing length of stay and cost against the predictive weights of the NAIP classification.The study concluded that this classification was an acceptable predictor of per diem costsof care in these wards of the Illawarra but was not a good predictor of length of stay.

Data from a questionnaire administered to senior managers in the New England Area Health Service (NEAHS) was used to examine gender differences in decision-making processes. The study found that female managers were more likely to report that they included staff in decision-making processes. The small size of the population restricted the statistical analysis; more meaningful findings may result if the study were to be repeated using a larger population of senior managers.
