There are six partnerships currently in joint development or implementation phases:
Value-based urgent care aims to reduce the number of low acuity conditions requiring “urgent" treatment presenting to Emergency Departments by providing sustainable alternative local patient-centred urgent care, at the right time and in the right place.
Cardiology in community aims to deliver integrated and coordinated care in the primary health care setting, with access to and support from acute and community care sectors.
Visit Western Sydney Care Collective for more information about these initiatives.
Uses data to identify frail patients at risk of requiring urgent care and proactively managing them to ensure they receive the right care, at the right time. A concierge service will coordinate care and link patients with services with higher value primary care involvement and rapid access to specialist support.
More information about this initiative is available on Collaborative Commissioning - Spotlight on Northern Sydney initiative.
Targets people diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) and/or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who have presented to hospital. The aim is to keep people with COPD and CHF healthier at home for longer by delivering primary care and community-based services aligned with best practice.
Visit Living Well, Your Way for more information about this initiative.
