1. The Modern Hospital

Royal Prince Alfred Hospital,Sydney 1873 - 2014

The hospital (H) in a modern health service infrastructure

Hospitals are but one component in a system of inter-dependent components forming our health care infrastructure.

• Our Selves

• General Practice (GP) and related Primary Care Providers

• Specialist Practioners (SP)

• Hospitals (H)

• Residential Care Provider (RC)

• Home Care Providers (HC)

• Disease Surveillance andf Public Health Programs

The infrastructure is shaped by (and in response moderates to varying degrees) factors in our biological, physical and socio-economic environments, our own biological and behavioural make-up and in the systems of governance and management.
