Instructions:
Select one of the following proposed health system reforms:
1) Urgent Care Clinics
Establishment of Urgent Care Clinics with the objective of delivering services in a primary care or community health setting that would generally otherwise be performed in an emergency department. https://www.aph.gov.au/-/media/55EEB672CFF74739B8B92FE61BF14470.ashxKey
The Department of Health has requested a risk analysis to illustrate the potential risks of this change to the health system. The Department has asked that your analysis illustrate the likelihood of risks occurring and the scale of their impact, as well as your approach to managing the risks you have identified by completing the table below.
L = Likelihood (Almost certain, Likely, Possible, Rare)
C = Consequence (Very High, High, Medium, low)
R = Risk level (12-16 = Extreme, 5-11 = Moderate, 1-4 = Low)
When considering the risks, think about the impacts on the various components of the health system, as well as the impact on providers and patients, including vulnerable populations. Consider how core principles of public health such as universal healthcare are endorsed (or not) by this health system/policy reform.

benefits; Identifies some basic risks in each category and provides a basic understanding of associated risks Does not identify key reform benefits; No or limited addressing of risks, focusing only on surface-level or obvious risks at the most; Addresses only some of the categories of risks
Assesses the likelihood of the
risk being realised
(20%) Realistically and accurately estimates the probability of all risks identified Estimates accurately the probability of all risks identified, although a small omission might be present Estimates accurately the probability of all risks identified, although an error might be present Provides some pragmaticconsideration to the probability of the risks identified, with some inaccuracies Over- or under-estimates the probability of the risks identified

(20%) Realistically and accurately estimates the severity of all risks identified Estimates accurately the severity of all risks identified, although a small omission might be present Estimates accurately the severity of all risks identified, although an error or inaccuracy might be present Provides some pragmaticconsideration to the severity of the risks identified, with some inaccuracies Over- or under-estimates the severity of the risks identified
Assesses the risk level (20%) All items comprehensively and appropriately assessed Majority of items assessed appropriately Most significant items assessed Most items assessed but some items incorrect Incomplete assessment
Realistic risk
management plan and assignment of responsibility for risk management
(20%) Thoroughly considers various options to mitigate all risks identified. Selects appropriate mitigating actions for each risk, clearly based on the prior risk identification and assessment. Identifies accurate and appropriate level of responsibility. Considers various options to avoid, mitigate or transfer all risks identified, although might omit some information. Selects appropriate actions for each risk, clearly based on the prior risk identification and assessment. Identifies
appropriate level of responsibility. Considers various options to avoid, mitigate or transfer risks identified, although makes some small errors. Selects appropriate mitigating actions for each risk, based on the prior risk identification and assessment, but some information might be missing. Identifies
appropriate level of responsibility. Provides some options to avoid, mitigate or transfer most of the risks, but some errors or inaccuracies are evident. Selects mostly appropriate mitigating actions;
Somewhat
considers the prior risk identification and assessment. Identifies general level of responsibility. Minimally explores options to avoid, mitigate or transfer risks; Only explores options for the most basic risks. Selects some inappropriate mitigating actions; May select actions solely based on cost or ease of implementation. Does not identify appropriate level of responsibility.
