Clinical Council - Prioritisation criteria ranking activity

We are asking Clinical Council members to please complete the following prioritisation criteria ranking activity prior to our next meeting (Tuesday 17 August).

To complete the activity please:

review the four essential criteria that will form part of the PHN's prioritisation criteria (see Briefing Paper)
with the four essential criteria in mind, consider which of the following six optional criteria should be included in the PHN's prioritisation criteria
based on your individual perspective, rank each of the six optional criteria from most important (rank 1^st) to least important (rank 6^th)

For example:

1 = Most important

2 = Important

3 = Moderately important

4 = Low importance

5 = Lowest importance

6 = Not important at all

Based on your perspective, please rank the following six prioritisation criteria in order of importance (1=Most important, 2=Important, 3=Moderately important, 4=Low importance, 5=Lowest importance, 6=Not important at all).

* required

Magnitude of need – how widespread is/what is the extent of the need? Is it associated with the greatest historical service activity growth?

Select

Balancing need and benefit (direct and indirect) – will addressing the greatest needs result in the greatest population health benefit? Would investing in lesser needs enable provision of more care, creating greater total health improvement?

Select

Urgency – does the potential solution for this need have to be put in place immediately, or are longer term solutions possible?

Select

Acceptability – is the potential solution for this need likely to be accepted by stakeholders? If not, why not?

Select

Effectiveness – is the potential solution for this need grounded in robust scientific evidence of effectiveness?

Select

Innovation – can the potential solution for this need be implemented via a new or alternative service delivery model or technology rather than a new solution requiring additional resources and infrastructure?
