The SMPCP Community Health Integrated Chronic Disease Collaborative recently presented their Community Health Model of Care at the Australian Disease Management Conference.

In keeping with the conference theme Person Centred Healthcare: Achievements & Challenges and co-design principles, the Model of Care was developed with consumers, clinicians and managers from all four Community Health Services in the SMPCP catchment. The Model provides care options for clients when they are self-managing and when they need comprehensive assistance and care coordination. It has ‘built in’ fluidity enabling the client to move through care options dependent on their changing health status.

The implementation of the Model will provide consumers with a consistent community health experience in all four Community Health Services across the region.

The conference presentation by Kath Baggaley (ISCH) and Carly Bertram (CCHS) was awarded Abstract Presentation Winner. Congratulations to Kath and Carly as well as abstract author Margaret Sinnott and the Collaborative for developing and presenting such a well-received Model.
