Description

The subject aims to develop an understanding of how primary health care can address the needs of individuals, population groups and communities in Australia and overseas. It provides an understand of the objectives, functions and organisation of primary health care services in Australia and countries with similar health care systems and how care is integrated between providers in the community including between acute and community based care. Students critically review initiatives for integrated primary health care for patients with complex and chronic disease and evaluate the process, impact and outcomes of primary care in the community and how the benefits and costs are distributed between those involved.
