2. PROPOSED Eastern Suburbs Mental Health Service Administration Structure

2.1 Summary of Changes

• Regrade all AO4 Administration Officers to AO3 on incumbent employee separation due to centralisation of patient liaison officer responsibilities to District-wide AO4 position (573004) and creation of 2 x AO5 Administration Supervisor positions.

• HSM1 to report to Clinical Operations Manager. HSM1 to provide line management to 2 x AO5 Administration Supervisors in collaboration with departmental managers. AO5 Administration Supervisors to provide line management to all other Administration Officers.

• Creation of AO5 Administration Supervisor responsible for administrative staff within inpatient areas and for those staff providing Clinical Academic support. Position to be located in Kiloh Centre and report to the HSM1 Administration Manager.

• Deletion of 1.0FTE AO5 providing Chief Psychiatrist support. Chief Psychiatrist support to be provided in the Executive Unit (see below).

• Creation of AO3 Chief Psychiatrist/Executive Unit Support reporting to the HSM1 Administration Manager. Position to provide support to the Chief Psychiatrist, and remainder of the Executive Unit (Service Director, Clinical Operations Manager and Quality Manager).

• Deletion of AO5 Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit. Ward clerk duties of MHRU to be subsumed into AO3 Neuropsychiatry Institute support position.

Position to be located at Maroubra Community Mental Health Centre and to have line management of administrative staff within Community Mental Health Centres, CAFÉ, Adolescent Psychiatry and Ambulatory areas.

• Creation of AO3 CSO position providing medical records support to staff in the Community Health Centres. Position to be primarily based at Maroubra Community Mental Health Centre, with travel across ambulatory areas as required.

• Deletion of AO4 at Bondi Junction Community Mental Health Centre. • AO4 Youth Mental Health to provide leave and break relief support to Bondi Junction

A Clinical Support Officer (CSO) position at AO3 grading was created in 2015 to provide support to the consolidated clinics in the Euroa Centre. A District-wide Patient Liaison Officer position was also created in 2015 to provide support to Kiloh Centre in relation to collection of patient details and insurance status, with a view to maximising patient fees revenue. This has significantly reduced these duties for the administration positions in Kiloh Centre, and therefore will further increase the capacity of the 2FTE ward clerk positions, with additional support to be provided by

Page 8: Eastern Suburbs Mental Health Service Administration ... · Eastern Suburbs Mental Health Service Administration Restructure ... OVERVIEW of Eastern Suburbs Mental Health Service

7

the new AO5 Administration Supervisor. Administration support for Tribunal and Magistrate Hearings to be absorbed into the AO3 Kiloh Reception, with reception cover to be provided by the local ward clerks or Administration Supervisor.

transferability of roles, e.g. Clinical Academic Support. • Installation of Lanier dictation system or similar automated dictation software, and

rollout to all clinicians. • Phase out physical transport of medical records management, including transport of

2.3 Rationale for change

Administrative Review 2015

Between January and April 2015, the Director of Operations, Mental Health Service commissioned a review of administrative services in response to a District-wide request by the Chief Executive.

The main objectives of the local review were to:

a. Review position descriptions of non-clinical Health Service Managers and Administration Officers, and update where appropriate.

b. Review reporting structures for administrative staff, including governance structures and professional support.

c. Review of administrative processes and systems and identification of opportunities for improvement.

Over the course of the Administrative Review, the following issues were identified that require attention:

• Significant service developments have occurred in recent years without the reconfigurations of staffing to align with the needs of the Service.

• Lack of clarity regarding administrative roles and responsibilities. • Unclear coordination and management of administrative staff across the Service. • Unclear reporting lines for administrative positions. • Inconsistency of reporting structure for HSM1 with District peers, i.e. reports to Service

Manager rather than Clinical Operations Manager. • Significant overlap between the HSM1 Administration Manager and the AO5

Administration Supervisor in the Executive Office. • Large number of established positions reporting to HSM1 Administration Manager. • Incomplete Performance Reviews. • Insufficient investment in professional development activities. • Poor succession planning. • Out-of-date position descriptions. • Limited flexibility and adaptability of staff. • The advent of eMR and CHOC online systems reducing the need for hard copy client

medical records. • Significant volume of dictation of clinic/medical staff correspondence. • Variable support provided to Medical Staff, with high level of support provided to some

individual Clinical Academics. • Inappropriate transport and storage of medical records off campus at Community

Mental Health locations.

3 Proposed changes to positions (summary)

The following positions will be submitted to the appropriate Grading committees for review in line with the Health Employees’ Administrative Staff (State) Award:

• Administration Manager – HSM1
