Description
Dawadi and co-authors build a fair-access score for mental health care in Australia. Their twenty twenty-four paper answers a global call to track how many people with severe illness get care. The score joins need, care use, and income level from national data sets.
The case study rests on Medicare, the public insurance scheme for the whole country. The team built the score from three national sources and mapped it by area. Gaps show where people with the most need use the least care. Health planners can use the map to aim funds and staff. Readers see a method other countries could adapt.
