"The future of community-centred health services in Australia : an alternative view" has recently been published in Australian Health Review. Community-centred
health care works in conjunction with hospital-centred care and each has its
strengths and weaknesses. The author of this article suggest that
community-centred care has not been widely demonstrated to be a more cost
efficient and cost-effective alternative to hospital-centred care for acute
conditions. He makes a plea for a
reasoned and evidence-based approach to the distribution of health resources.
