  2. Background • Over the past few months CYWHS has been operating within a transitional environment. • We have implemented a number of transitional projects and commenced several plans. • The Board is undertaking Strategic Planning and have commenced work to identify the strategic priorities for our region. Senior staff have also been involved in strategic thinking sessions. • The emerging strategic directions have helped inform the leadership structure.

  3. Background • As part of the Transitional plans, the CE made a commitment to announcing a new Executive structure by December 31, 2004. This was endorsed by the Board of Directors. • The CNAHS announced their Regional Executive structure on December 1, 2004. • The Department of Health announced their new Departmental structure on December 14, 2004. • The SAHS will be announcing their Executive structure on December 16, 2004.

  4. Our Purpose Our constitution is clear in describing the primary purpose of our region: To promote, maintain & restore the health of women, children & young people. In order to fulfil this, we will be providing a broad range of services, including: • Specialist hospital services • Primary health care and population health programs • Integrated community care services • Services to address the health and wellbeing of particular populations, including Aboriginal Health programs • Education and training programs • Research. • Our Executive team needs to provide leadership for this range of services.

  5. Leadership for reform • Our Executive team also needs to ensure strategic leadership for reform and drive our key strategic priorities. The Health Reform Objectives – Why change? • Sustainable and integrated health services • Primary health care • Health inequalities including Aboriginal health • Quality and safety of health care • Improved community participation • Better systems - Population based funding, workforce development, information systems & efficiency.

  6. Our Emerging Vision Key themes …. • The health of children, young people and women is improved • Good health is available to everyone - this means that we must have a sustainable, integrated & affordable health system • Health inequalities are exposed and removed • The health system makes a real contribution to improving health • When people do get sick or become injured, patients are safe in our care and our services are responsive and compassionate.

  7. Our Emerging Priorities • Aboriginal Health Key elements – Access, workforce development, cultural respect, maternal and infant health programs. 2. Primary Health Care Key elements – PHC networks, prevention, health promotion, early intervention and advocacy to improve population health outcomes, integration with acute services to develop accessible & responsive outreach services. PHC services will be underpinned by a population health approach. 3. Sustainable and Integrated Acute Services Key elements – Clinical networks, maintaining the viability of acute services in the context of falling birth rates, clinical governance, quality and safety.

  8. Our Emerging Priorities 4. Keeping Children Safe Key elements – Leadership and networks with other regions and sectors, family support, prevention and promotion, reforming work practices and culture, improved accountability. 5. Health Inequalities Key elements - Developing and tailoring services to meet the most disadvantaged, providing services to promote the health of the segments of the population. 6. Workforce development Key elements – Developing a sustainable and effective workforce, planning for shortages, succession and responding to the ageing workforce.
