seven million patients with chronic diseases. Health Minister Sussan Ley (pictured with RACGP president Dr Frank Jones) says she has created 'Health Care Homes' to “co-ordinate all of the medical, allied health and out-of-hospital services” as part of a patient’s tailored care plan. Patients eligible for these care plans will have to register with practices under a patient enrolment scheme. Under the reforms announced on Thursday, these patients will then be stratified into three separate tiers, likely to be based in part on their risk of hospitalisation. Each patient tier will then access a range of services — both within and outside the practice — to meet their needs.

The RACGP, a long-time advocate of voluntary patient registration and medical homes, hailed the plan as “life-saving”. However, there are still large holes in what the government is promising. On funding for the Health Care Homes, the government said payments would be “bundled together into regular quarterly payments”. It is expected that the “proof of concept trial”, which involves 200 practices and some 65,000 patients, will begin next year. As yet, there are no details on how much money will be on offer or how the plan fits with current MBS chronic disease items.
