SEMPHN is pleased to announce 21 general practices will provide care coordination services for patients with chronic conditions across south eastern Melbourne.
Care coordination involves working with a patient to develop a plan that helps the patient take more control of their health and achieve their goals.
Care coordination is for patients with a chronic condition(s), at risk of admission to hospital, or who may have complex needs. It is a patient-centred approach that involves the timely coordination of health, community and social services to meet a patient’s needs.
SEMPHN's Chief Operating Officer, Simon Wrigley, said this funding will help general practices to further support their patients.
"We're excited to welcome a new round of general practices into the world of care coordination. When caring for patients, we know that time and dedicated health workers make a world of difference. This funding offers general practices exactly that; the additional time or staff to develop individual, comprehensive, health plans to connect patients to the best care, when and where they need it."
