NSW Community Health Review

8 Strategic Issues

The following strategic issues will need to be addressed by the NSW Community Health Review. 

  1. Positioning of Community Health in terms of national reform and Commonwealth opportunities
  2. Role of Community Health – mix of investment across the health continuum (HBG/HRG)
  3. Hospital demand management – best managed by Community Health or hospital? One model for all areas?
  4. Governance of Community Health – one model fits all?
  5. Relationships and interfaces – hospital, GP, community care, NGO, public health units, aged care, other State government services
  6. Best bet investments within each HBG/HRG and life cycle group? Who is best placed to provide these?
  7. Best bets for special need groups – ATSI, CALD, Rural/remote
  8. Community Health information and information management
