Mildura Base Hospital
Annual Report 2014/2015
CEO’s Report
2014-2015
I am delighted to outline the many achievements and developments that have occurred at Mildura Base
Hospital over the last year.
We have seen a much anticipated completion of the Hospital’s major building project. This is the biggest
expansion project ever undertaken by the Hospital and its completion allows the delivery of all the
advantages and progress it brings.
The $16 million development project upgraded the Mental Health, Obstetrics and Emergency Departments
and involved major works in three of the most critical service delivery areas within the Hospital.
The complexity and challenge of undertaking three large infrastructure development projects concurrently
is significant not only in financial terms, but logistically. It is notable that the complex infrastructure and
construction works were undertaken to completion without significant disruption to services and with
minimal inconvenience to the public.
That we were able to achieve such substantial infrastructure work with little impact on the public and
services is a credit to all staff involved, both at the planning and service delivery level, as well as the
constructive working partnership with our developers. It is a significant credit to the Hospital’s project
management team, that the work was achieved and delivered within budget and on time.
The result of the upgrading work has been a significant improvement to the capacity of the Hospital and also
the quality of experience for both patients and their families in these key areas of services.
Also this year, construction began on a new accommodation building comprising of 35 units to replace the
ageing Lanyon Flats. The building provides high standard accommodation for interns and medical officers on
rotation and will significantly improve the experience for doctors while staying in Mildura. We are confident
that in supporting a positive initial experience in the Mildura area, this high-quality accommodation may
encourage medical staff to make a longer term commitment to the area.
Work has also commenced this year on the new Aboriginal Health Unit which is due for completion in
November. This is an important initiative aimed at improving our engagement with members of the
Indigenous community and their families and assisting the Hospital to provide appropriate health care to
meet the needs of the Indigenous population.
We were pleased this year to receive funding for the installation of a new world-standard patient
administration system. The current system was introduced in the 1980s, and is largely paper-based. The new
electronic system will make great progress in terms of speed and ease of access to patient medical records
and we look forward to the installation of the new system.
The Hospital continues to perform extremely well on a range of regular audits and service reports. Despite
our isolation, I am happy to report that we compare favorably with peer hospitals and outperform in a
number of areas.
Recruitment and retention of medical staff continues to be a major challenge for all rural and remote
hospitals and Mildura Base Hospital has been extremely active in this space. The establishment of the
Ramsay Specialist Clinic has assisted in the recruitment of new specialists including an orthopaedic surgeon,
as well as an additional paediatrician and oncologist and, for the first time, a geriatrician.
Mildura Base Hospital
Annual Report 2014/2015
We are extremely grateful for the ongoing support of the community we serve. There have been a number
of donations kindly given to the Hospital and we are very grateful for this support. Many thousands of
people in the area contribute financially to the 97.9 Sun FM Give Me Five for Kids Appeal, which raised a
record $44,575 in the last year. We are extremely appreciative of the ongoing support of this important
initiative. All funds raised and donated are used to purchase much needed equipment at the Hospital.
The Community Advisory Board continues to provide a conduit for members of the community to use and
provide advocacy and support to the Hospital. I take this opportunity to thank the Board, for its input and
support to ensure that the Hospital continues to deliver a high level of health care in the region.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our staff and management team, for their ongoing
support and commitment to providing high quality services to our community, through what has been an
extremely busy and at times challenging year.

2014-15 - A Year of Progress
2014-15 has been an exciting year of development and
expansion at Mildura Base Hospital. MBH is working constantly
to improve its effectiveness as the region’s acute care health
service provider. In the past year, our efforts to improve
facilities and provide additional services and staff have
included:

More than 100 people took part in the first community
walkathon run by Mildura Base Hospital and the MBH
Community Advisory Board. It was part of 97.9 Sun FM’s
‘Give Me Five For Kids’ appeal, with the walk beginning
and ending in the Langtree Mall.
Mildura Base Hospital Mental Health clinician Larni
Baird was appointed to lead Mildura’s new headspace
centre. headspace is the National Youth Mental Health
Foundation initiative, helping young people who are going
through a tough time.
Crews started construction of new $9 million
accommodation complex for clinicians and students in
Thirteenth Street.
Students from Irymple South Primary School did fundraising
during a unit about “thinking of others”. They chose to run a
pizza, cupcake and cordial day to raise funds for the Children’s
7ARDAT-"(nANDWEREABLETODONATEAPPROXIMATELY
to purchase a small television set for patients.
During a visit by the former Health Minister David Davis,
the Victorian Government pledged $829,000 to maternity
and Aboriginal health care services at MBH.
A Residential In-Reach Program was launched, providing
a health-care interface between MBH and the region’s
Residential Aged Care facilities. It aims to assist aged care
residents to avoid trips to the Emergency Department
where possible.
The first stage of the $16 million three-stage hospital
upgrade was finished, with the completion of the
expansion of Mental Health Department.
Several senior MBH staffmembers completed the Qualitas
Productive Leader program. It focused on delivering
greater efficiency, both personal and organisational,
giving leaders more time to lead. At the completion of
the course, the MBH participants won the award for best
presentation ahead of metropolitan and regional hospitals
from throughout Victoria.
MBH welcomed a nine percent increase in its capacity to
provide Palliative Care services for the region. The number
of funded Palliative Care bed days was increased from 1020
days in 2013-14 to 1113 in 2014-15.

The first birth was recorded in
the new MBH birthing suites.
Lola Mary Droffelaar arrived
only a few hours after the new
suites were officially opened.
The birthing suites were a key
element of a seven million
dollar redevelopment.
There were pink ladies, pink
pom-poms and the obligatory
pink cupcakes at the annual “pink day” morning tea in
the MBH midwifery courtyard. A call to women and girls
to be “breast familiar” from a young age and a reminder
to older women to commit to breast screening every two
years were the key messages.

An iconic Mildura landmark was chosen as the ideal
location for headspace Mildura. The Cottee’s Building
in Pine Avenue provides a unique combination of
professional service-delivery space in a current and
comfortable vibe for the youth focused centre. The
selection of the location was ahead of the opening of
headspace Mildura in February 2015.
s
New state-wide smoking bans around hospitals were aimed
at supporting and encouraging more people to quit or cut
back their smoking. Changes under the Tobacco Amendment
Act 2014 included new bans on smoking in the hospital
grounds and within four metres of a hospital entrance.
s
Students and medical staff began settling into the
comfortable surrounds of Mildura Base Hospital’s new $9
million accommodation complex in Thirteenth Street. The
Federal Government funded the self-contained two-storey
apartment complex next to the old Mildura Base Hospital
to provide accommodation for students, practitioners and
medical officers employed or training at the hospital. The
complex replaced Lanyon House, which served the hospital
well, but was well past its use-by date.

About 900 babies are born each year at MBH, with up to
150 of those requiring Special Care or Intensive Care. The
work provided a dedicated resuscitation space within the
Special Care Nursery.
Mildura Base Hospital secured the services of a staff
consultant geriatrician for the first time. Dr Barnabas Mavo
is a physician specialising in the care of elderly people and
was appointed to meet growing demand from the Mallee’s
ageing population.

New parking time limits were introduced around MBH in
an effort to improve parking availability in the hospital

Community Advisory Board
FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Attempting to canvass the work of one of the region’s biggest, and arguably most important employers, in a few words is
hardly, is hardly possible.
3EVENDAYSAWEEKHOURSADAYANDNOPUBLICHOLIDAYSISAWORKPLACEWITHOUTRIVAL'LADLYITISSUPPORTEDBYATALENTED
and dedicated team who know that theirs is much more than a job. Those of us who meet monthly to review their
performance have their utmost admiration.
But the work of the Community Advisory Board needs to look beyond the now and ensure that we are well equipped to
meet the challenges of the future.
To that end, a key focus of the past year has been an analysis of the health and hospital needs of 2040, the generation
hence. At the very least, we must ensure that our children and our grandchildren are certain to receive the care and
support that we now seek and expect.
As we all know . . . ‘a failure to plan is a plan to fail’.
In collaboration with Monash School of Rural Health, that forecasting for the future health needs of our region has
commenced.
Coming weeks will see a start to a series of community consultations and a sharing of the work that awaits.
I am proud to be a part of a board that has seen fit to accept that challenge.
Our initiative could hardly have received a higher endorsement when the Minister recently announced her own plan for a
Health 2040 projection.

and managing clinical incidents.
All clinical incidents and near misses are reported into
the RiskMan database which promotes timely and effective
communication and subsequent review of incidents/events.
Your feedback can help us understand and address issues
we otherwise might not know about. Feedback is utilised
as an opportunity to improve service and performance, and
ultimately our consumers experience.
All feedback is reported to the highest level of governance in
the organisation, including the Community Advisory Board. Your
feedback is also provided to our staff to ensure the ongoing
service we provide will meet the expectations of the hospital
management and our patients, their families and carers.
Compliments and complaints received
(July 2014 - June 2015)
VHIMS not only encourages the collection of relevant
details about clinical incidents, but also ensures that
pertinent strategies/initiatives are undertaken to ensure
patient safety is maintained and that any identified issues
are addressed to prevent and/or minimise the likelihood of a
similar incident occurring again.
Managing Risk
Mildura Base Hospital continues to utilise the Victorian
(EALTH)NCIDENT-ANAGEMENT3YSTEM6()-3IN
collaboration with Ramsay Health Care and the Victorian
Department of Health.
VHIMS supports a standardised, electronic collection and
analysis of incident data. It allows the hospital to not only
gain an understanding of the type, frequency and severity of
incidences, and equally important recognize any contributing
factors.
As with incident notification, the hospital also utilises the

of feedback details, the seriousness/severity of the feedback
and the outcome for the patient/consumer. This provides a
streamlined approach to ensure that feedback is recorded,
investigated and followed up in a timely manner and provides
an appropriate resolution to the patient/consumer. It also
allows the hospital to effectively report and track feedback
received. The hospital’s reporting processes also ensures that
monthly reports are provided to the hospital’s Executive Team
and Community Advisory Board.
Anyone with concerns or unhappy with their healthcare,
can speak with a staff member who is directly involved with
the provision of care as soon as possible. Speaking up about
concerns will not impact on care or treatment, and allows staff
to respond and resolve concerns as soon as possible.

improvement strategies and share any lessons learned, with
the aim to ensure patient safety at all times.
