About this Event

The management and length of waiting lists for ambulatory, community or outpatient services is a common problem for many health services. The STAT (Specific & Timely Appointments for Triage) model has been developed to re-think how referrals are managed in high demand services. STAT provides an alternative for intake and service provision. Multiple studies, including a large NHMRC funded trial, have shown that STAT can lead to reduced wait times and improved access to services. For more information about STAT visit www.stat.trekeducation.org

Who should attend?

Managers, project officers, team leaders, coordinators and clinicians who are working to improve timely access in community outpatient settings.
