Funded Activity Summary

Australia has limited systems in place to identify, then reduce or withdraw (disinvest) ineffective or inappropriate health care practices. Such practices result in sub-optimal care and inefficient use of scarce resources. Disinvestment models are few and have not been tested in Australia. We will develop a novel, systematic policy framework by linking policy, clinical, patient and community members as partners in the decision process for disinvesting (or not) selected health care practices.
