Alexandra District HealthA

nnual Report 2015-16

In late 1866, the mining boom hit Redgate, (as Alexandra was then known) and with the consequential population explosion, the need for medical and hospital care became an issue.

In 1870, the Local Council purchased two buildings for two pounds. They went on to spend a further 50 pounds, converting part of an old hotel into a courthouse and the other section into a hospital. From these humble beginnings sprang the Alexandra District Hospital.

The Grand Opening Ball of the Hospital on the hilltop site was Friday, September 20, 1871. Its official incorporation and registration as a Public Hospital was on Saturday, December 11, 1871, the official opening date.

The then new Hospital had a bed capacity of five and the first matron was Mrs Margaret Milroy. In 1888, the size of the Hospital was doubled

to ten beds with the reconstruction from wood to brick and the addition of the Jubilee Wing.

In 1957 a disastrous fire destroyed the major part of the Hospital but also all the archive records prior to that point, making the development of this institution very difficult to recount. Suffice to say, a total reconstruction was undertaken.

Between 1969 and 1977, further development increased the services to a total of 30 beds including the only nursing home beds in the area.

The mid 1980s to the present day saw the most rapid expansion in services and development of the Hospital. The Hospital now provides specialist medical services in eleven clinical disciplines, as well as a local doctor service of five general practitioners, supporting radiology, pathology, physiotherapy, district nursing and many other services.

In 2011 Alexandra District Hospital was moved from a nineteenth

century building on the corner of Myrtle Street and Cooper Street to a state-of-the-art fully integrated health facility at 12 Cooper Street. The new facility is capable of serving the community well into the future.

On the 18th June 2015 Alexandra District Hospital’s name was formally changed to Alexandra District Health.

It is however, more than worthy of repeating an excerpt from The Alexandra and Yea Standard at the turn of the century-

“During the first two decades of this century, the Hospital was greatly supported by the people of the surrounding area. Donations of goods were greatly appreciated and acknowledged in monthly Hospital reports which were published in the local paper.”

The unstinting support from this community is what will always ensure the vitality and perpetuity of this Hospital.

nnual Report 2015-16

05

The Board embarked this year with a Strategic Planning, Community and Stakeholder Engagement Workshop, seeking input and guidance from participants to shape the current and future health services. Representatives from ADH Board and staff, the Community Advisory Group, relevant State and Local Government agencies, primary health providers, health related businesses and the local community contributed to robust discussions, with key themes evolving around partnerships, community engagement, operational excellence, workforce and future needs. These themes form the platform for future planning and development of ADH services and support our vision to be recognized as a leader in rural health service provision, workforce development, and consumer engagement.

Service provision has, at its core, the requirement for skilled staff such as General Practitioners, Specialist Medical Officers, Nursing and Allied Health staff. ADH remains committed to the training and recruitment of staff that are capable and confident to provide the diverse portfolio of services currently offered and anticipated in the future. This commitment is demonstrated by the appointments of Cassandra Fraser to the Nurse Unit Manager role

Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer/Director of Nursing ReportIt is with great pleasure that we submit this report as a collaborative venture between the new Board Chair and the new Chief Executive Officer / Director of Nursing of Alexandra District Health (ADH). The health service has seen many changes in leadership over the past 12 months and a new era has begun with a newly appointed Chief Executive Officer to lead the organisation on behalf of the Board of Management. The Board would like to acknowledge the long partnership that Heather Byrne had with ADH and wish her well for her future. The Board would also like to recognise the leadership that both Mark Ashcroft and Margaret Baker provided to ADH during the recruitment process.

overseeing the acute clinical area and Claire Palmer to manage the Quality and Risk portfolio, they have both been appointed from within the health service. Under Cassandra’s leadership we continue to develop nursing skills with a commitment to the Remote and Isolated Practice Endorsed Registered Nurses (RIPERN) program and formal training in undertaking x-rays. These nurses are the frontline clinicians who are able to assess and manage patients who require non-urgent attention and treatment, saving patients from travelling to other hospitals for x-rays for minor injuries. For urgent medical conditions, we continue to have a General Practitioner on-call roster supported by the Alexandra and Yea medical workforce and we are grateful for their support.

Our elective surgical program continues to provide a broad range of specialist services to the community of Alexandra and surrounds and was supported through the purchase of new equipment to ensure theatre facilities remain state of the art. Under the leadership of Margaret Baker our nursing and technical team provide a first class service and ably support the visiting surgeons and anaesthetists. The theatre team have achieved commendations

in infection control and sterilising standards within the Hume region and are recognised leaders in rural Victoria.

The community health program maintains an effective service, providing both health promotion focussed events and a range of nursing and allied health services to individuals. The Community Health Manager, Jane Judd, and her team are exploring opportunities to optimise access to a range of community based services with a focus on keeping our community healthy and well at home.

There has been an increase in activity across all clinical areas of the health service this year and this has been achieved within budget, ending the year in a strong financial position. The increase in activity has occurred concurrently with changes to staff and their roles. The staff can be commended for staying focused on providing quality care amidst all the changes, as demonstrated by excellent patient satisfaction results.

Underpinning the provision of clinical services is our quality and risk management framework and we acknowledge and thank Jane Judd for establishing a firm foundation in preparation for the “organisation wide survey” by the accreditation body, the Australian Council on

Healthcare Standards (ACHS) in October 2016. We have an evolving culture of continuous improvement across the organisation and quality and risk are performed as part of everyone’s duties at all times whilst on duty. There is much work that happens in the background as we formally document everything that we do in preparation for accreditation. All staff contribute in some way to this and it is now overseen by our quality navigator, Claire Palmer, and her team of “champions”, staff that lead the way and educate staff on individual standards. A big responsibility for all involved, however, an effective way to embed the knowledge throughout the organisation.

Although the health service building is no longer “new” we are still settling in and addressing a number of minor issues common to all building projects. The solar project has been completed and we are already seeing the benefits in lower energy costs. The health service has, as one of its primary environmental objectives, a keen desire to explore any opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint and become more energy wise and environmentally responsible. Our staff have contributed to a great range of initiatives that help us realise that goal, including a focus on recycling, particularly in the

area of clinical waste of which, the disposal of, is a very expensive area. Another initiative led by the staff, is a desire to improve the front public entrance to our main building. While the patient rooms overlook maturing and attractive gardens other areas have not developed as well. We have commenced an environmental project in redeveloping the gardens at the front of the building with a focus on softening the look of the garden and making the entrance more welcoming to our visitors.

Our health service would not be able to function if it was not for the staff that make it happen in the background. The support staff do not always appear front and centre however, the staff at the Reception desk that welcome you to our health service, the administration staff that work in the back offices keeping the bureaucratic wheels in motion, the staff that prepare and serve the magnificent meals in our kitchen, the staff that maintain the cleanliness of the health service environment, the maintenance team that keep the building ship shape, to our volunteers and to the Community Advisory Committee and Fundraising Committee, a very sincere thank you from the Board and Chief Executive Officer / Director of Nursing on behalf of the community you serve.

We would also like to acknowledge the dedication of our Board, who give freely of their time to provide oversight and strategic direction to the health service. We would like to thank outgoing board member, Kristen Michaels, who served on the board for five years; and also Christine Bell who served as the independent chair of the Audit and Risk Committee. We are most grateful for their contributions. We look forward to welcoming Sally Percy as a new Board Member this year, who will add strength to the clinical governance of this health service.

Alexandra District Health will continue to seek opportunities to improve our health service in every department, we will make you feel welcome and streamline access to our services and we will provide the best possible care we can, this is our commitment to you, our community.

Environment and Sustainability

13

Alexandra District Health (ADH) recognises its role in a more sustainable state for future directions.

Over the past twelve months Alexandra District Health has undertaken a number of environmental performance improvement activities including:

• The installation of solar panels to supplement our power usage. We expect that the system will decrease our overall electricity use and in turn decrease our carbon footprint.

• A review of our clinical waste has been provided by an external provider and has identified a number of ways that we can decrease our overall clinical waste volume.

• Our theatre department is now participating in a sterile wrap recycling project that means this product no longer ends up in landfill.

• We are currently working on a replacement program to replace our halogen lighting with LED replacements throughout the hospital site.

• Review of landscaping designs to incorporate water wise plants and low maintenance garden areas. Reducing the water requirements over summer months.

• In 2015/16 ADH used a total of 625 reams of paper on which 50% is made of recycled materials.

• ADH prints publications on demand. The printing of our annual report is limited to 120 copies with documents available on the Hospitals website. Patient information brochures are printed in house on demand and are not printed by commercial printers on mass.

Our Goals:

• Reduce clinical waste in total volume and containers through education of the correct separation of clinical and general waste.

• Reduce our overall carbon footprint by 50 tonnes by 30 June 2017 by reducing our electricity, water and gas usage through various environmental projects.

• Overall fuel consumption target reduction of 5% by the end of 2016/17 by reducing non-essential travel and increased use of video and tele-conferencing.
