South East Region
Context
A major growth corridor with a mix of younger families and older populations with complex health needs.
Key challenges include:
Higher-than-average rates of dementia in some areas
Elevated alcohol and other drug-related harm
Pressure on transitions between primary care, hospital and aged care
What we are doing
Mapping journeys of families and individuals with complex needs
Identifying key points where care coordination breaks down
Co-designing solutions to improve transitions and service integration
Building on existing integrated care and community-based models
Future work
As the program of work progresses in the South East region, updates will be provided on what the needs analysis finds, what we learn from patient journey mapping and the interventions that are developed to help reduce fragmentation.
