Accountability And Accreditation In The Australian Allied Health Context, Susan Nancarrow, Julie Clark
Accountability And Accreditation In The Australian Allied Health Context, Susan Nancarrow, Julie Clark
Susan Nancarrow
This paper examines the professional accreditation systems developed by five allied health associations in Australia. Professional accreditation is potentially a powerful tool because it can describe both the attributes of a health service provider and aspects of the quality of their care. This information is of value to patients, regulatory bodies and funding organizations to guide their health service decision making. However, the lack of consistency in the approaches used by the allied health disciplines means that the term 'accreditation' has a different value for each profession. Additionally, patient and purchaser preferences have received little consideration in the development of …

Can Footwear Retailers Play A Role In Primary Care Prevention?, Susan Nancarrow
Susan Nancarrow
The aim of this project was to investigate whether footwear retailers can play a role in the prevention of foot problems through the early identification of problems and referrals to health professionals. Footwear related injury accounts for up to one third of hospitalisations for diabetic foot disease (Payne, 1998). Footwear is a risk factor in many falls, although the exact extent of this risk is unknown (Robbins et al, 1997, Chipman, 1981, Connell and Wolf, 1997). The presence of corns or bunions has been found to be an independent risk factor for falling in older people (Dolinis et al, 1997). …
