Healthcare "hubs" would become one-stop-shops for integrating hospital, specialist, GP and allied health services, where patients would have greater autonomy over their tailor-made care, a radical blueprint for revolutionising Medicare envisions.

The proposal would also see patients given online access to their own health information, including tests and appointment bookings.

The federal government's healthcare agenda is the target of a new report released Monday by an expert group of medicos, consumer advocates and researchers that aims to wrench Australia's "1980s" model of healthcare into the 21st century.

A massive overhaul of the current outdated system required "an absolute redesign of infrastructure, health team roles and models of delivery care around the needs of the patient," read the report by the expert roundtable co-hosted by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), the Consumer Health Forum of Australia, the George Institute and the Menzies Centre for Health Policy.
