The seven-part series was delivered online over 12 months.
Each session in the series addressed key learning outcomes, and in particular, highlighted the fundamental building blocks relating to activity based funding and where stakeholders’ roles fit within the life-cycle of the project.
The live webinars provided health professionals with the opportunity to engage directly with IHPA senior leaders, technical advisors and industry experts to learn more about how their work supports pricing and funding of public hospital services in Australia.
Each session was delivered through an interactive virtual portal and included:
- one 20 to 45 minute introductory presentation, providing detailed education on the core themes to be discussed in the live webinar, which is released three weeks in advance
- one 60 minute live Q&A webinar, with a 10 to 15 minute introduction and 45 minutes to ask direct questions of the speakers.
