He karakia whakatimatanga Tūtawa mai i runga

Tūtawa mai i roto
and from within
Kia tau ai Te mauri tū, Te mauri ora Ki te katoa

Aim: Realignment of innovation across the network
Certainties post Covid • Demand for our services will return to 100% + • Life will not be the same in the next 6 or even 12 months • Anxiety re: COVID infection will be ongoing for patients, staff and the community • Change will be ongoing as we adapt to a new post COVID normal and may be fatiguing - health and safety • Equity
Preserving the good stuff post Covid • New ways of working for GPs and nurses – remote, virtual, telephone, portal • New and improved patient experience of care • Technology applications that support clinical work and workflow that are user friendly, patient centred and cost effective. • New communication pathways – social media, portal, website, community notices • A two-team workforce as a health and safety and infection control management strategy
Adapting to a new normal • Managing vulnerable people amidst the threat of ongoing COVID infection • Proactive COVID testing of high risk and marginalised communities • Managing potential exposure of COVID infection in the workplace • Meeting the demand for technology enabled services, e.g. telephone and video consultations, Virtual YoC, Virtual consultations with allied health workers, e.g. pharmacists, health coaches, mental health workers, PCPA’s etc… • Effectively managing the service and daily workload with a twoteam workforce or a different way of working
Adaptation considerations • Protect your investment in your staff, practice culture and trust within your team • Be open and transparent with your team, they are your biggest asset • Make the adaptation period and activities about your population, and your team, “our people” and “our community” • Communicate clearly and frequently to staff and patients as you adapt and realign services to a new normal – listen to the feedback • Be solution focused not problem fixated • Skills and training requirements for staff
Aim: Looking to an amended model of care
