Improving health services - model of care implementation

Models of care have been developed in collaboration with a broad range of stakeholders and outline a plan for improving health services in Western Australia.

The Western Australian health sector is now working with Health Networks to translate these models into improvements in service delivery.
A strategic group, the Model of Care Implementation Review Committee, is driving and monitoring the implementation of these changes across WA Health.

The role of the committee is to:

Determine the prioritisation of Models of Care for implementation
Endorse Models of Care implementation working groups
Provide a statewide forum for Area Health Services and statewide divisions to report on their progress, successes and challenges in the implementation of models of care
Make recommendations on issues across the models that require a whole of statewide approach or resources to the Operations Review Committee

Models of care describe best practice care and services within a health system for a person or population.

If you are working on a project which is improving health services and relates to a model of care, we would love to hear about it.
