For my first assessment I have decided to focus on the idea of Healthcare in the Home. The initiative is targeted at getting patients to receive treatment at home, in a bid to free up hospital beds. I believe the topic is of high relevance on the Gold Coast with over crowding issues at the Gold Coast University Hospital and a number of new policies have been added to the State Government's budget plans for Queensland Healthcare.
This topic is newsworthy and highly notable, because it addresses a variety of news values. The topic of healthcare spans across the Gold Coast, then through Queensland and even nationally across the country. The issue is a state-wide problem that the State Government intends to address, meaning the news story would offer local with a beneficial alternative to being hospitalised. Therefore, the story covers a variety of audiences, relating to impact and proximity values. Furthermore, recent state legislation and the release of the program coincide, meaning that the issue is timely. Next, the topic involves prominence with politicians discussing resolutions with the media to combat the state-wide problem.
I sourced the piece from a recent media release sent out by Gold Coast university Hospital Media. Suggesting the program has just begun on the Gold Coast with a number of patients getting involved in the service.
I plan on interviewing a politician, doctor, patient in the program and finally a nurse involved in the program. I believe this will offer a variety of perspectives for my piece. From a doctors benefit to a patient's benefit there are a range of points to discuss and any conflicting views will balance my story. Questions I will focus on are the advantages and disadvantages of the program and how they intend to manage it and get others involved.
I am focusing on completing a radio segment for my piece as I have developed a passion in the field and would like to focus on the sound elements of the story. Additionally on the website I will include images of the people I interview and a range of links to the current healthcare policies set out by the State Government in relation to my topic.
