Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper sets out a synthesis of five reports commissioned by District Health Boards New Zealand and the Ministry of Health as part of their "change in primary care" project within the Joint Work Programme on Primary Health Care Strategy (PHCS) implementation. The synthesis focuses on the next stage of development for primary health organisations (PHO's) in New Zealand, what needs to change and how the effectiveness of PHO's might be assessed. This report takes as its starting point evidence that implementation of the PHCS has been more successful in relation to reducing the cost of access to care and increasing utilisation of primary care services, whilst struggling to bring about desired changes in terms of extending primary care service provision at the practice level and enabling better integration of a diverse range of primary and community health services accessed by customers." -- Executive summaryp. 1

Download or read book The State of Third Sector Primary Care in New Zealand written by Antonia Clare Verstappen and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis details the state of third sector primary health care in New Zealand. It examines what third sector primary health care organisations look like within the contemporary New Zealand setting. This thesis also identifies recent policy changes that have occurred within the primary health sector, and discusses the implications these changes in health policy will have for third sector primary health care providers. It identifies current policy threats and opportunities facing third sector primary care providers. This study also examines how these policy changes can be explained through the relevant policy literature. This thesis found that third sector primary health care in New Zealand plays an important role in the provision of primary health care services to vulnerable communities. This finding is consistent with literature from New Zealand and overseas demonstrating the importance of third sector provision of primary care services to low-income, indigenous and vulnerable groups. This study also found that current changes in health policy are having a significant negative impact on third sector primary care organisations. Policy changes in the health policy environment that are seeing mergers between PHOs are causing third sector organisations to lose their ability to pursue an independent PHO strategy, and are eroding third sector primary health care services. The erosion of these services is of concern to senior health sector leaders. The findings of this thesis are significant as the loss of third sector primary care providers could have serious implications for the health system. The findings from this thesis also raise important policy questions about how primary care policy will need to respond to meet the needs of vulnerable communities if the ability of these organisations to provide services is reduced. If third sector organisations cannot retain their identity post-merger or larger PHOs are unable to pick up third sector priorities, the impacts from these policy reforms on population health will need to be monitored.

It is also important to distinguish between the two most common causes of musculoskeletal symptoms, namely inflammatory and degenerative.

Download or read book Primary Health Care People Practice Place written by Valorie A. Crooks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care is constantly undergoing change and refinement resulting from the adoption of new practices and technologies, the changing nature of societies and populations, and also shifts in the very places from which care is delivered. Primary Health Care: People, Practice, Place draws together significant contributions from established experts across a variety of disciplines to focus on such changes in primary health care, not only because it is the most basic and integral form of health service delivery, but also because it is an area to which geographers have made significant contributions and to which other scholars have engaged in 'thinking geographically' about its core concepts and issues. Including perspectives from both consumers and producers, it moves beyond geographical accounts of the context of health service provision through its explicit focus on the practice of primary health care. With arguments well-supported by empirical research, this book will appeal not only to scholars across a range of social and health sciences, but also to professionals involved in health services.
