Download or read book Improving the Identification of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People in Mainstream General Practice written by Margaret Kelaher and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute (APHCRI), The Australian National University is delighted to publish this first stream of research funded by the Institute specifically targeting issues in the delivery of primary health care to Indigenous people. This research was commissioned by APHCRI from the Cooperative Research Centre for Aboriginal Health (CRCAH) in response to the APHCRI Research Advisory Board’s desire to help address an Indigenous Health Priority. Poor identification of Indigenous people in mainstream general practice has been identified in previous research as a significant barrier to uptake of Medicare items that may assist Indigenous people in the prevention of chronic illness. This research is, therefore, designed as a first step towards improved targeting of health initiatives such as health assessments for Indigenous people. As with previous research streams funded by APHCRI, this work involves the systematic review and synthesis of current knowledge, as well as the translation of that knowledge into innovative and comprehensive approaches that can provide a strong basis for primary health care policy development. The report provides an analysis of the effectiveness of pre-existing strategies that aim to support identification processes and makes recommendations for future action in this area and the likely costs of doing this." p.

Download or read book Aboriginal Healthworkers written by Bill Genat and published by ISBS. This book was released on 2006 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aboriginal healthworkers are employed by Australian primary health care services to help bridge the gap between the Western medical clinic and their own kin. Much controversy surrounds what they can and should be doing. Aboriginal Healthworkers looks at what healthworkers do, what they think about their work, and how their work is perceived by doctors, nurses, social workers, transport workers, and, crucially, their Aboriginal clients. The author's unique contribution brings ethnographic methods to his study of a group of urban healthworkers, and allows their voices to be heard. Healthworkers speak frankly about the state of Aboriginal primary health care in Australia. Daily visits to homes of families whose health continues to be eroded by the historical legacy of exclusion, cultural oppression, and racism highlight the serious lack of professional recognition and support. In response, this powerful book portrays the unique healing practice offered by Aboriginal healthworkers and urges that practical steps be taken to bolster their holistic approach.
