Grampians Health is one of 14 health services across Victoria selected to participate in a Department of Health funded project – Timely Emergency Care Collaborative (TECC).
The TECC project runs until June 2024 and aims to improve timely access to Emergency Care for people seeking care at Grampians Health by implementing strategies to commence improving system-wide patient flow.
In working to achieve this, customised improvement strategies will be deployed in the Emergency Department and the Inpatient wards of our Horsham and Ballarat campuses, in addition to also carrying our collaborative cross campus work to streamline organisational communications influencing patient flow.
Over the project duration, Grampians Health will be seeking community input which will then be integrated into improvement strategies.
