Priorities

The five priority areas for action are:

• Promoting healthy lifestyles
• Supporting early detection of risk factors and chronic disease
• Supporting lifestyle and risk modification
• Encouraging active patient self management of chronic conditions
• Improving the communication and coordination between care services

Projects are being implemented in Western Australia in four of these priority areas.

Many of these projects impact across a number of the Health Networks and we are working to ensure integration with their work programs, including the models of care.
