Designing a comprehensive service for a health care group: a framework for planning. 1978

F Eskin, and D Hewett, and A Hindle, and J T Wilson, and K Wright, and D J Jolley

This article describes an exercise which was designed by a multidisciplinary group, including a community physician, health economist, clinician and operational research practitioner, to explore the essential nature of planning services for a particular health care group. The first programme, described in the article, was concerned with psychogeriatric services, including both community and hospital provision, but it is indicated that the exercise can be adapted to all other services, and has already been used to evolve a comprehensive accident and emergency service in a particular health area. Participants came from a wide variety of disciplines, including community medicine, psychiatry, geriatrics, hospital and community nursing and non-medical administration. The tutors to the course were those who had been involved in its planning and they spent the time working with the participants to explore the concepts involved and to produce some practical solutions that could be used in the field.
