Health Facilities Summit (Delegate Only) - Day 2

9:10 AM PANEL DISCUSSION: DECENTRALISATION VERSUS CENTRALISATION: WHICH APPROACH IS RIGHT FOR A FUTURE-PROOFED AND HARMONISED HEALTH SYSTEM?

Two distinct schools of thought are emerging in health infrastructure development as leaders tackle the critical question: How do we build the health system of the future? The first argues that as the health industry shifts towards community care and Hospital-in-the-Home (HITH) models, a decentralised network of smaller health hubs across communities is the best path forward. On the other hand, significant investments are being made into precincts that bring key health, education, and research organisations together in one geographic location to drive collaboration and share operating costs. Which will triumph? Join this panel discussion to hear where leaders believe the industry is headed.
