Figure Stakeholder engagement strategy During the course of the project, an extensive and targeted consultation process was implemented with relevant stakeholders to fulfil the above objectives. This included face meetings, teleconferences and workshops conducted at key points throughout the project. The key components of the stakeholder consultation process included: During February 2014, a series of 17 stakeholder consultations were conducted with 43 participants from all states and territories; Between May 2014 and July 2014, a series of nine meetings (involving more than 40 clinicians) were convened with the five specialist clinical committees; In August 2014, a Final Stakeholder Consultation Paper was released that included a formal submission process for providing feedback; In September 2014, a national consultation workshop was held at which the draft V4 classification was presented to clinicians and representatives from the majority of jurisdictions; and Throughout the project, additional formal and informal consultation processes were conducted with a range of individual stakeholders on an as-required basis. The above activities are briefly summarised below. Additional details are also included in various reports that have been submitted to IHPA throughout the project. Initial stakeholder consultation During February 2014, a series of 17 stakeholder consultations were conducted with 43 participants from all states and territories. A list of participants is provided at Appendix 3. The objectives of the consultations were to introduce the project, discuss the project methodology and ensure that key issues requiring consideration were identified. A wide range of views were expressed during these consultations. Overall, there was widespread agreement on the need for a national subacute classification in Australia that appropriately reflects current clinical practices, models of care, cost patterns and organisational structures. The vast majority of stakeholders agreed that AN-SNAP is the most appropriate classification for this purpose. The stakeholder consultation process also identified a consistent view that there has been a significant increase in the severity of illness across all subacute care types and an increased demand for these services. As a result, new models of care are emerging that needed to be considered in the development of AN-SNAP V4.
