Managing the challenges of emerging disruptors in private healthcare governance.

Abstract

The complex funding dynamics within the public and private systems, competition for patients and doctors from both sides of the sector, a mind-boggling array of incentives and penalty frameworks and an increasingly astute public demanding better value and greater affordability in healthcare, are some key challenges that need an urgent response. Given the complexity of these challenges that the Australian private healthcare administrator is currently faced with, how do we then even begin to tackle the emerging disruptors to the governance of private health services?
