Media release from Health Care Aotearoa
Health Care Aotearoa Co Leaders Jenni Moore and Rowena Gotty were
heartened by the calls for inclusive collaboration at the Royal New
Zealand College of GPs Quality symposium on Friday and
Saturday.
"Moves for working together on a common goal make sense. All parts
of the wider primary health care sector have a role to play. This
includes local Maori, youth, Pacific providers and national
organisations such as Family Planning and Plunket. These services
may provide health promotion initiatives, nursing and general
practice said Jenni Moore".
Health Care Aotearoa has a quality programme Te Wana that has over
a hundred enrolled providers, and already a precedent to carry out
joint reviews with the College of GPs quality programme
"Cornerstone" has been trialled.
"These kinds of collaborative efforts mean providers can spend more
of their energy looking after their patients, whilst being
confident that their quality is exemplary said Rowena Gotty".
Health Care Aotearoa is looking forward to participating in
discussions about how we can work together more closely and tap
into the synergy from the collective approach.
