17 1. Legislative Changes
18 Why amend the TAC Act? address inequities improve efficiency improve benefits where gaps keep up to date with changing society clarify problematic definitions that lead to dispute
19 About the amendments. 37 clauses $11 million in extra new benefits each year $8 million extra impairment benefits to accompany improvement to dispute resolution anticipate full implementation by March passed by lower house of Parliament
20 What the amendments will do. simpler and faster calculation of loss of earnings decreased administration with self purchasing and travel allowance speedier determination of impairment and flexibility to make interim payments fairer and more logical eligibility criteria for home services and childcare benefits return to work travel benefit provides another option for vocational support

23 2. Alternative Dispute Resolution Protocols
24 Protocols - Why change? improve decision quality and consistency reduce time to resolve disputes reduce common law timeframes reduce the costs of dispute management recognise plaintiff lawyer contributions through three non-legislative protocols agreed between the TAC, LIV and APLA.
25 Resolving civil disputes outside the adversarial system is a priority Central to our commitment to provide access to affordable high-quality justice.
26 Protocols Key Features early exchange of information pre-court meetings event-based legal cost funding model
27 3. Clinical Justification
28 Provider perspective: A Clinical Justification Approach Use of at least two Standardised Outcome Measures Improved Rehabilitation Attained pre-injury function When outcome measures are improving rehabilitation phase demonstrates a return to pre-injury status plateau marks end of rehabilitation Cease therapy management
29 The plateau. 80% Oswestry Score - Client 1 70% 60% 50% 40% the plateau 30% 20% 10% 0% Dec-03 Jan-04 Feb-04 Mar-04 Apr-04
30 Provider perspective: A Clinical Justification Approach Use of at least two Standardised Outcome Measures Improved Unchanged or Deteriorated Review diagnosis & management Rehabilitation Attained pre-injury function When outcome measures plateau consider working diagnosis watch red flags/yellow flags assess patient compliance/understanding consider placebo/dependence issues Cease therapy management
31 Guide to selection and interpretation of Standardised Outcome Measures
32 Summary clinical practice must be clinically justified goal setting - client & provider outcome measures provide a long term record of health evidence is required for selection and continuation of treatment the same parameters used in everyday practice should be applied to TAC clients
