The Royal Australasian College of Medical AdministratorsThe College was founded in 1967 as the Australian College of Medical Administrators and attained its Royal Prefix in 1979. In August, 1998 when links with New Zealand were formally established, the College changed its name to The Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators. The College when first established had the aim of promoting and advancing the study of health services administration by medical practitioners.

Profound changes in health administration have occurred since that time, but the need for competent well-trained health sector managers has not diminished.

The College works to achieve its aims through a rigorous university-based training course, supervised posts in medical administration and postgraduate education programmes for Fellows, Associate Fellows, Candidates and Trainees.

Editorial: Next Fifty years…

As we leave our fiftieth year, it is a great opportunity to look forward. Whether I was on the money, totally off base, or suitably generic, so anything could be read into my words, like Nostradamus’s quatrains, will be interesting to see at some time in the future. In any event, I believe that there will be a continuing need for well trained medical administrators going forward.

Dr Andy Robertson Editor

In the March 2017 edition, I looked back over the fifty years since the establishment of the Australian College of Medical Administrators in 1967 and the Royal Australian College of Medical Administrators (RACMA) in 1979. While I have no means of precognition, and unless the laws of physics majorly change, which is highly improbable if not impossible, none of us will be developing the technology to look into the future anytime soon.1 To that end, I felt it was still useful to consider what some of the challenges over the next 50 years might be, particularly as medical administrators.

The ten major challenges that I have selected can be loosely separated into the good and the bad, although many are intertwines.

Under the Good, we will see:1. The continuing utilisation of genomics and the rise of personalised medicine. This will provide new therapies for a range of diseases, including many rare diseases. These, however, will come at a cost, which may be out of the reach of many developing countries.2,3

2. Patient-centred care. As patients continue to be better educated on options for prevention and medical care, the shift to patient-centred and patient-directed care will increase in all health services and health facilities.2

3. Health Reform. Health reform will become a constant in our universe, as we constantly endeavour to ensure that health spending is sustainable, improvements are cost-effective and treatments are evidence-based.4 Basically, we will constantly seek ‘more bang for the buck’.

4. Greater Focus on Public Health. Linked in with health reform will be a better understanding of the benefits of public health in improving general health and preventing hospital admissions, in all societies at all stages of development.5

5. Health Information Technology. The real benefits of health information systems are yet to be fully realised, whether that is improving medical decision making, eliminating clinical error, or allowing patient self-management, but will continue to evolve over the next 50 years to ultimately improve health care. What role Artificial Intelligence will play remains unclear.2,3

‘‘

The Quarterly 2017 5

Under the Bad:1. Ageing population. Health care systems will need to wrestle with both a rapidly expanding population and marked increases in the number of senior citizens, as our populations live longer and require additional care. From 2009-10 to 2049-50, real health spending in Australia on those aged over 65 years is predicted to increase seven-fold.4 This will have implications for migration and workforce, as well as health care.3

2. Rising health costs and demand for health services. Health systems will continue to come under ever increasing pressure to deliver more medical services, including new pharmaceuticals and technologies.4 Infrastructure, information systems and patient demand will add to these costs.

3. Antimicrobial Resistance. Antimicrobial resistance is rapidly becoming a very serious health threat for all health systems. Unchecked, such resistance could fundamentally change our approach to both complex lifesaving treatments, such as organ transplants, and more routine operations, like hip replacements, which may become too risky to undertake. Diagnosis, prevention and development of new antimicrobials will become essential.5

4. Climate Change. Unless addressed, the ramifications of climate change will continue to make themselves felt upon health systems, whether through dealing with climate-related disease, such as heatwaves, or in health disaster responses. If climate change forces mass migration, as waters rise, then existing infrastructure, services and economies, particularly in developing countries, may be stretched to breaking point.3

5. Geopolitical Tensions. The last 50 years have not boded well for geopolitical tensions, including in 2017, and the next 50 years remain a complete mystery. Threats abound – from terrorism, refugee crises, humanitarian disasters through to all out nuclear war. Health will need to navigate this minefield to continue to provide the health care required.5

As we leave our fiftieth year, it is a great opportunity to look forward. Whether I was on the money, totally off base, or suitably generic, so anything could be read into my words, like Nostradamus’s quatrains, will be interesting to see at some time in the future. In any event, I believe that there will be a continuing need for well trained medical administrators going forward.

Finally, as with the College, we continue to enhance The Quarterly. Is there anything further that Fellows, Members and Candidates want from The Quarterly? We would be very keen to have your feedback on how we need to continue to develop The Quarterly over the next 50 years.

6 The Quarterly 2017

From the President It has been a privilege to serve as President of the College in its 50th year. This is a significant milestone for our College and it has been a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet so many of our Fellows and hear their stories of the inception and establishment of the College through the years. The energy and commitment provided by our Foundation Fellows who established the College in 1967 is a testament to their belief that Medical Administration was a key component in ensuring high standards of health care service delivery. We benefit in our health services across Australia and New Zealand today from their passion and vision.

In the past year, the College has undertaken a rigorous strategic planning process to refresh and to reinvigorate our direction. The Strategic Plan 2017 – 2020 will provide a solid foundation for the College to move into its next exciting chapter, underpinned by our four core values of Professionalism; Integrity; Excellence and Respect.

The College also farewells Karen Owen, who leaves us after 11 years of dedicated service as Chief Executive. The Board and I thank Karen for her contribution and wish her every success for the future.

Some of you may have already noticed the rebranding of the College website and the video, which the Board and I are pleased to have been able to launch at the Annual Conference. These key initiatives will assist the College in forging a greater understanding of what Medical Administration is, and why is it so relevant in todays fast paced and, at times, tumultuous health service environments.

The Learning and Teaching Centre (LTC) has been well received and has made a significant contribution to promoting excellence in medical management. There has been a high level of interest in the programs offered by the LTC and the feedback on the content has been very positive.

This years Conference was a great success, with a diverse and thought-provoking program. The keynote speaker, Dr Itiel Dror provided a unique insight into cognitive neuroscience approaches in clinical decision making. The Langford Oration presented by Professor Gavin Frost was well received. The highlight of the Conference was the 50th Anniversary Dinner, where Dr Bernard Street provided not only a walk through history but a College song!

The Board and I are pleased to welcome Melanie Saba to her new role as the Chief Executive of RACMA. Melanie commenced with us at the time of the Conference and brings a broad range of experience, I know you will wish her well as she settles into the role.

The work of College would not happen without the dedication, hard work and commitment shown by our members and I would like to thank our Preceptors, Coaches, Supervisors and Censors, as well as the Jurisdictional Committees and the wider faculty of trainers and educators. I would also like to thank Board members and the RACMA national office.

The year ahead is an exciting prospect and I am looking forward to the College further cementing its place in setting the standard for excellence in medical management.

Prof Michael Cleary PSM President

New Chief Executive

The College is uniquely placed to provide the platform for excellence in the training and ongoing support of medical managers and leaders in Australasia. The Colleges role in engaging with our diverse stakeholders and governments is also an important part of our function.

Today is a very exciting prospect for me as the new CEO of RACMA. It is an honour to lead this organisation and to work with the Board and all College members to continue to build on the legacy of the past 50 years.

I have been fortunate in my short time with the College to have met some of you at the recent RACMA Conference and to hear from you firsthand the current challenges for medical managers and leaders in our Australian and New Zealand health services. I am looking forward to meeting more of you as I settle into the role.

The College is uniquely placed to provide the platform for excellence in the training and ongoing support of medical managers and leaders in Australasia. The Colleges role in engaging with our diverse stakeholders and governments is also an important part of our function.

I am delighted to have this opportunity to continue the work of the past 50 years.

Finance & Audit Report 2016/2017

Operating ProfitThe trend to reduce operating profit continues. This is due to the Board’s conscious decision to invest in staffing and faculty to deliver projects and strategic initiatives.

Income & ExpensesAs in the previous comment income continues to increase. The success of the Leadership for Clinicians program in 2016/2017 is seen in this graph. In addition strong expenditure management coupled with timing of income and expenditures is reflected between the 2016 and 2017 results.

Member Funds (Equity)Continued growth in RACMA funds is shown in this graph. Most is held in term deposits at low interest levels

Assets & LiabilitiesThis graph shows the impact of the project monies under RACMA management – largely the PICS grant monies and training-post salaries under STP – this ‘inflates’ both the total assets and liabilities. Included in the assets is Cato Street (see below). From May 2018 the PICS program management will cease so that next year we expect to see the Colleges cash assets and liabilities drop significantly. Nonetheless the underlying asset base remains stronger than 2008.

This year saw a profit of $291,450 from income of $3,178,437 (an increase of 28.5% from the previous year). Total assets as at June 30 2017 were $24.36 million, and total liabilities were $18.6 million. The following tables show the financial performance of the College over the last ten years.

The Quarterly 2017 9

In 2018, RACMA will continue to further diversify its funding, including pursuing further opportunities with state health departments in the provision of training, expansion of the Learning and Teaching Centre, and the provision of additional fee for service and training.

The Board has committed to funding several strategic projects in 2016/17, including the development of the strategic plan (Charter for Change), developing RACMA’s brand and communication strategy, expansion of the Learning and Teaching Centre, development of position papers concerning clinical governance, funding the 50th celebrations and purchasing a property to accommodate the expanding National Office.

The new property on 1/20 Cato Street Hawthorn East VIC was purchased for $1,530,000 on 27th January 2017. The Rental Income is $110,000 per annum, however the tenant decided not to exercise their option to renew their lease in September. The Board is considering options for future use of the property, including re-leasing it, or relocating RACMA National Office alongside leasing/selling Suite 10, 1 Milton Parade Office and sub-letting Suite 3, 1 Milton Parade.

Members of the Finance and Audit Committee are Kevin Morris, Max Alexander, Amir Rahimi, Robyn Lawrence, and Michael Cleary (ex officio). I would like to thank their contributions over the past 12 months.

10 The Quarterly 2017

The ETC oversees the development of policies related to assessment, training compliance, accreditation and any matters emerging from its sub-committees. The ETC will make recommendations to the Board for final approval.

Discussions by the Board around the AMC standards and the submission of the strategic plan for the College led to the determination of a range of objectives, in particular with the aim of improving the delivery of the Fellowship Training Program, its cost effectiveness and learning outcomes, leading to the development of programmatic and workplace based assessment; strengthening RACMA governance around compliance in the Fellowship Training Program and review of the College governance and management structures.

In January 2017, the RACMA Committee Chairs met at a workshop held in Melbourne to discuss the development and implementation of Programmatic and workplace assessment, the role of the various committees and panels in the governance decision making and the development of business rules and policies to support to assure the Board that College operational and management structures are in place and well-governed.

The ETC met in March 2017 with a full agenda, key items discussed ranged from a review and confirmation of the ETC Terms of Reference; updated role and responsibilities of the Chair; and an enhanced role for the ETC in oversight of all related subcommittees role and functions.

The ETC appointed a Candidate representative to the Committee in June 2017 for the duration of his Candidacy. The member is actively participating in ETC discussions, and has provided a useful perspective. Additionally, the ETC has selected a Community Representative and hope to have this position in place for the New Year.

Education and Training Committee Overview of 2017

The ETC continues to participate across all relevant areas, including accreditation of educational programs, such as the Management for Clinicians Program; review any recommendations arising from the Accreditation Review Panel; and Trainee Wellbeing.

The Chairs of BOC and ETC express their thanks to Dr Lyn Lee for all her hard work this year. Dr Lee has been conducting a wide consultation process with a range of College stakeholders, including the Jurisdictional Committees and Coordinators of Training.

Dr Lee has already established the Programmatic and Workbased Assessment Working Party (PWAWP) to commence on the restructure of the governance around FTP and implementation of WBA into the Medical Management Practice in the FTP.

The BOC and the CPD subcommittee has done a phenomenal amount of work in this year. BOC is working on standardisation of assessments (that elusive holy grail), and the CPD team has been working on finding the balance between maintaining competence and not making it too onerous. I would like to recognise these two groups, and all my fellow ETC members who have worked tirelessly and at all sorts of odd times (the last ETC meeting in Melbourne was after the Langford oration and wound up at about 10:45 pm!).

I’d like to congratulate the ETC, its subcommittees and the national office team for their enthusiasm and contribution in what has been a very busy year!

A/Prof Pooshan Navathe Chair, ETC and RACMA Board Member.

The aim of the Education and Training Committee (ETC) is to provide advice to the Board on the strategic directions and development of the educational activities of the College including the Fellowship Training Program and the Continuing Education Program.

The Quarterly 2017 11

Our education and assessment processes continue to be strengthened and contemporary so we as a College continue in our rightful place as the peak body in Specialisation for Medical Leadership, with training, education, research and finally the awarding of Fellowship.

The partnership with the Dean of Education and the Chair of the Education and Training Committee (ETC) has led to some significant achievements and improvements. Overall governance and processes are compliant and represent best practice. I wish to acknowledge the tireless work of the Censors and the extraordinary high quality and diligence of the College secretariat as we carry out our duties and responsibilities.

The key BOC developments and achievements since July 2017 include:a) 2017 National Trials - 5 & 6th August 2017

Preparation for the National trials involves a substantially complex process, which is facilitated by the College Secretariat and the Censor-in-Chief. The preparation of examining pairs, logistics and arrangements for Censors is a replication of the final pre- Fellowship exam process. The trials are preceded by the compulsory Pre-Fellowship Workshop. On the weekend of the 5- 6 August 2017, the National Trail Exams were held at the AMC National Test Centre with 24 Censors having examined 35 Candidates who attended. The quality of Candidates’ presentations during these National Trials was observed subjectively to be higher than last year and it was agreed that Candidates were more prepared for a range of competencies covered in the exam questions.

The Dean of Education oversaw the exams on behalf of the CIC, initially in attendance (who was called away due to emerging clinical emergencies related to the Influenza outbreaks). During the exams the Dean of Education implemented some strategies for observations by Censors through monitoring located at the observation room. This provided the majority of Censors an opportunity to observe / peer review exam technique of their peers and also observe their own candidates who they didn’t examine thus avoiding any conflict of interest, nevertheless allowed them through observation to develop constructive and

Censor-in-Chief Report 2017

relevant feedback leading up to the preparation for the Pre-Fellowship Examinations.

b) Pre-Fellowship Oral Exam

The pre-Fellowship oral examination is scheduled for 2-3rd December 2017. There will be 33 Candidates presenting to the oral exams.

c) Refinement of scoresheets/marking rubric

The Dean of Education and the Censor-in-Chief have reviewed the score sheet/marking rubric for the exams; enhancing some wording and further clarifying and specifying the business rules around the assessment of borderline performance of candidates.

d) Reviewed the Policies for the Conduct of Exams and Eligibility to sit the exams

The ETC endorsed at its meeting several policies related to Assessment and Governance of the Fellowship Training Program. Consultation was sought from BOC and Training Progress Committee, and the Jurisdictional Coordinators of Training in September- October 2017 to gather further input and discussion on the business rules and policy framework, prior to presenting the revised documents to the ETC.

e) Revision of the Policy for declaration of interests to prevent conflicts

The revision of the Policy for declaration of interests has now incorporated a section on governance for declarations of interest to avoid real or perceived conflicts of interests in the assessment of summative tasks, in particular around the role of the Censor in Chief in the management process and addressing any perceived conflicts of interest in the examination process.

f) Examination question development and calibration

The development and calibration of exam questions has been further refined this year with an earlier finalisation of questions and individual rubrics as well as consultation with the BOC. More regulator discussions via teleconference will be conducted to ensure tighter calibration. Questions for the exam will now be finalised earlier (3 weeks at least prior to the exams) as per the agreement by BOC at its meeting in Feb 2017 and subsequent consultation in June 2017.

Since the last meeting of the Board of Censors held in July 2017, the Board (BOC) has continued to engage in process and procedure improvement programs, which address Censor recruitment, training, and performance review as well as our process and compliance with the AMC Standards. Such improvements involve the incorporation of contemporary assessment methodologies which to meet the requirement for an evidence-based approach to medical educational reform and, the alignment and compliance with the AMC standards.

12 The Quarterly 2017

Future plans and activities: Programmatic assessmentThe RACMA Programmatic Learning and Workplace based Assessment continues in the consultation and development stages. Activities will include the revision of assessment and operational policies which support the implementation of business rules surrounding assessment, progression, remediation, trainee support and workplace observation that will evolve into a programmatic learning and assessment structure that will strengthen trainees’ knowledge, skills and abilities over time through training activities, opportunities and assessment in the workplace. Appropriate training and assessments will be built into the evaluation of trainees’ performance and will be aggregated to inform judgments about progress.

The BOC continues to provide support and oversight alongside the Dean of Education during the further establishment of a programmatic assessment, with the incorporation of a range of assessment methods planned to optimise fitness for purpose and quality of training and supervision in medical management practice and in accordance with AMC Standards and contemporary education assessment methods.

Candidate Report 2017

The CAC has the ability to positively impact issues that arise on the training pathway and indeed, has done so over the course of the year.

At the recent RACMA Conference, a feedback session was conducted by A/Prof Pooshan Navathe, Chair of the Education and Training Committee where approximately 20 candidates provided feedback on the training program. As a result of this meeting, there is has been a firm undertaking by the College to commit to an improvement in areas identified as key concerns, including consistency in the area of communications. A/Prof Navathe will oversee this work and I am sure the outcome will be of long term benefit to the Fellowship program and the College in the future.

Additionally, Dr Carl Bryant, Chair of the Candidate Advisory Committee, will be developing a briefing paper for the RACMA Board on issues experienced by Candidates.

These key activities for improvement will assist to shape and guide our Fellowship and Associate Fellowship programs and have far reaching impact on the delivery of our programs. The CAC has a vital role in this work and I am looking forward to continuing to be the conduit to the Board to see this important work shape our future.

I hope that my role will continue to provide value to Candidates via the Board representation and my role in CAC. 2018 is shaping to be a full and varied year, and I am sure that with the ongoing support of the CAC and our JCTs, a year to shape the RACMA training program positively.

I wish to thank the CAC and the state Jurisdictional committees for their valued contribution to the College and the training of trainees. It has been an honour to be elected to the Board and to serve on CAC and to be part of the drive to improve and further enhance our training offerings.

The RACMA Conference was again marked by a high level of engagement in outstanding education and presentation by some of the National Leaders in Health Care in Australia. The exciting re branding of the College and the website re-design supports a future focused College and as current trainees and future fellows we look forward to a college where governance, leadership, management, health resource stewardship and administration form part of our identity as specialists in our field.

Dr Sergio Diez Alvarez Candidate Director, RACMA Board

I am pleased to report that the Candidates Advisory Committee (CAC) has actively participated in assisting the Board and ETC to a deeper understanding of issues and challenges confronting Candidates in the existing program through increased representation on committees by trainees.

MyRACMAMyRACMA is a user-friendly interface to enable members to record and maintain CPD requirements and replaced the current outdated system. The Committee has also been working with the national office reviewing and testing the MyRACMA interface. Communications will be sent to members with further information when the new system is ready to be launched.

CPD Round TableThe CPDC continues to be active in ongoing engagement with membership to ensure offerings are relevant and meet the expectations of RACMA members. A CPD Round Table was held at the Annual conference to canvass feedback about CPD requirements. A range of tools and templates were presented at the Round Table to assist in a more supportive and streamlined process. Audit Tools for use against relevant standards such: the ACQSHC Standard 1 Governance and Standard 2 Consumer Engagement; Open Disclosure standards; Clinical Governance Framework Standard; RCA Standards and AICD Corporate Governance Standard.

AHPRA AuditsAHPRA audits for medical administration specialty have been resolved and all are complaint. I would like to acknowledge Debbie Greenberger of the national office for her professionalism, patience and care in assisting those Fellows who needed help.

The CPDC is currently working on a raft of measures to continually improve our CPD offerings, including the RACMA CPD manual, policies and processes.

Continuing Professional Development Report 2017

As Chair of the Continuing Professional Development Committee (CPDC) it gives me great pleasure to present this year’s report.

It has been a dynamic year for the Committee with the launch of the RACMA Learning and Teaching Centre which has delivered an extensive range of professional development activities via the Forums as well as delivery of the Management for Clinicians program and considerable growth across the Leadership for Clinicians program.

In conclusion, I would like to thank my fellow Committee members and the national office team for their support and contribution over the past 12 months.

Dr Liz Mullins Chair, Continuing Professional Development Committee

The Quarterly 2017 15

Over the past three years, since recommendations were received by the RACMA Board from the Australian Medical Council, that the Fellowship Training Program should increase the programmatic nature of its Assessment activities, several consultations have been conducted and the opportunity has been taken to review out policies and protocols to achieve this improvement.

The RACMA training environment is continuing into 2018 with its structural transition from its current progression approach to delivery of increasingly complex teaching, and requirement for overcoming staged hurdles of assessment; to one of an integrated model of training incorporating both self-directed activities and multiple opportunities for experiential learning in the workplace.

It has been reiterated that the Fellowship Training Program is delivered as four domains of continuous learning in formative workplace activities and summative assessment tasks and they have been named:

Health system science (HSS);

Medical Management Practice (MMP);

Research Training (RT); and

Personal and Professional Leadership Development (PPLD).

It has been agreed that candidates must perform ‘satisfactorily’ in each Domain, within specified time periods for each domain, in order to be eligible for membership of the College in the category of Fellow.

From the Dean

There are two key changes which are needed for the Medical Management Practice domain. The first is that the status of the Oral Examination, which is to be retained in its current format, will be changed from that of an ‘exit’ examination, to which all learning and experience is funnelled, to that of a component of success in the MMP domain.

The second is that evidence of observation and feedback on a minimum number of workplace tasks will be required to be logged into Candidates’ e-profiles, for adequate completion of In-Training Assessment forms.

The Oral Examination will continue as an exit examination for current Candidates i.e. they will need to complete (or be close to completing) all their summative tasks by the time they sit the Examination. Candidates commencing in 2018 may sit the Examination at any time provided their performance has been satisfactory in a minimum of 30 months of accredited supervised medical management practice.

The education and training staff in the National Office are committed to achieving the process changes that will be needed to enable a smooth transition to the new concepts over the next two years.

Dr Lynette Lee Dean of Education

Dr Lynette Lee MB, BS, MSc, PhD, FAFRM, FFPMANZCA, FRACMA has had a substantial career as a specialist clinician, a health policy advisor and an academic and has committed many years to training of specialist medical officers. She joined the National Office in May this year as our Dean, succeeding Professor Gavin Frost upon his retirement from the position.

As has been highlighted by Dr Navathe in his report on education and training, the Board, this year, has agreed to implementation of the principles of Programmatic Learning and Assessment.

The Australian Medical Council (AMC) has granted accreditation of the training programs of the Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators for four years, after a comprehensive assessment of the Collegeʼs programs and processes.

The AMC expert teamʼs assessment included an extensive program of site visits, written stakeholder feedback and comprehensive documentation from the College.

The College of Medical Administrators is the Australasian body which trains and certifies the competence of doctors working in the field of medical administration. The Candidate training program ensures doctors working in medical administration have a robust grasp of the skills, behaviour and attitudes required to be successful medical managers. To be granted College Fellowship, candidates must successfully complete the Collegeʼs three-year training program. Candidates preparing for Fellowship may undertake their training in a wide range of workplaces, which are assessed by the College for suitability.

The AMC report notes the Collegesʼ commitment to reviewing and developing its education and training in medical administration and identifying training opportunities in both the private and public sector. The report comments on the major changes the College is making to its constitution, and its policies, procedures and processes. The report recommends the College further develop the competencies of the medical administrator and develop a more succinct statement about medical administration as a speciality and the key contribution trained medical administrators make to the quality and safety of modern health care delivery. The report also encourages the College to strategically position itself as a leading advocate and commentator on quality and sustainable health care leadership in Australasia.

The executive summary of the AMC teamʼs report is available on the AMC website at www.amc.org.au).

The President of the College, Dr David Rankin, welcomed the AMCʼs decision. CONTACTS: AMC – Nicole Newton – M: 0407 998 611

The College is accredited by the AMC in 2008
