Recommendation of Garling Inquiry - in response to hospital utilisation by chronic, complex and elderly patients – people with multiple health and social issues Key strategy driving NSW Health Efficiency Plan - hospital avoidance program. Implementation of the NSW Chronic Disease Management Program (Connecting Care in the Community)

  3. AIM OF THIS INNOVATION Improve the health system’s capacity to respond to the needs of people with chronic diseases with proactive identification, assessment, enrolment and monitoring. Provide integrated, patient focused care - addressing clinical and non clinical functional deficits. Increase service continuity and build strong support for multidisciplinary care, care planning and care coordination. Increase client capacity for self management and improve the quality of life of people with chronic diseases with support to their carers and families Reduce the progression and complications of chronic disease Reduce unplanned and avoidable admissions to hospitals

  4. BASELINE DATA The Central Coast area has an aging population, lower socio-economics, low education attainment and high reliance on public health care. A low ratio of GP FTEs per population, which are lower than the recommended national levels. Only half of chronic condition patients are referred to community services. Chronic condition patients have low rates of referral to, and completion of rehabilitation.

  6. KEY CHANGES IMPLEMENTED Established a Care Coordination Team to provide case management and coaching for complex high risk clients. Established an Complex Care Allied Health team to provide and support client interventions. Integrated Connecting Care with capacity to enroll patients across all of the Chronic Disease Management Programs. Trained all Chronic Disease staff in the Health Coaching through HCA. Developed an algorithm into EMR for identification of eligible patients on their 3rd admission. Developed referral pathways for General Practice and 48hr Follow-up.

  8. LESSONS LEARNT Need capacity to provide a range of service interventions from intense case management - to health coaching - to follow-up and monitoring. Need access to the range of services that clients need to be connected to including Allied, Rehab, Community or Medical. Need to train staff in chronic disease case management, provide tools, scripts and protocols to support client management, and ensure appropriate case load mix. Need to support capacity for enrolment and management of clients through out the range of chronic disease programs.
