Feasibility Studies

Assessing the viability of health services founded on evidence, data analysis, modelling and community input.

Overview

A feasibility study is a detailed analysis that assesses the practicality of a proposed plan or project. It aims to objectively explore the strengths and weaknesses of the idea, assess clinical safety, consider community and stakeholder support, and evaluate the infrastructure and resources required. Ultimately it assists decision makers whether to proceed, revise or abandon a potential investment.

HealthQ’s findings and recommendations are always backed by evidence, ensuring trust and acceptance across all stakeholders. Our work is grounded in purpose, driven by the desire to create meaningful impact. We focus on results and maintaining responsibility for our recommendations, even in complex and challenging environments.

This depth allows us to bring a uniquely comprehensive perspective to our work.

Approach

Study Design

01

Co-designing the review framework to define areas of investigation for the Study.

Research & Analysis

02

Consultation, data analysis and review of the literature to answer each area of investigation to reach a conclusion.

Sharing Learnings

03

Documenting the evidence for the Study’s conclusions and facilitating reflection and acceptance of the study’s findings.
Do you have the skills to complete the financial and economic feasibility?

Yes we do. Our team has completed complex modelling, financial and economic assessments for a range of projects.

Can you consider a range of options as part of the feasibility assessment?

Yes, and that is common. Health Q has experience in supporting Boards and project control groups to assess options and reach consensus positions. We find that the utilisation of multi criteria analysis (MCA) is a helpful tool that allows assessment and comparison of each option.

Our assessments and recommendations will be founded in evidence, sourced from the literature and an environmental analysis, analysis of data, the experience and views of relevant stakeholders and the community.

How do you “share learnings” especially in politically sensitive programs?

We believe that a team that listens, facilitates reflection, and progresses coordinated and frequent opportunities for learning will enrich and enhance evaluation outcomes. We start our evaluation design with the philosophy that a ‘shared learnings’ workshop with key stakeholders and program partners is of significant value. But we also understand that some learnings and projects are more sensitive than others.  We will agree with you who is appropriate to be invited in shared learnings workshops, and how those risks are managed.

Who will spend most of the hours on the project?

Our project experience includes complex and significant pieces of work. A key to success is that our senior team members are very present on all projects. Yes, you will see Darren getting his boots dusty in Innamincka, and Leah meeting with the community in Cairns. Each of our team play critical and well defined roles on projects, and our model is one where often, everyone is equally involved throughout the whole project.

Are your team able to travel to regional and remote locations are part of project delivery?

Yes. We love meeting the communities that the services and/or programs are delivered to.  We have found that the views of local health service customers and local connected health services are best collected in person, face to face, and are critical to evaluation outcomes.
