Connecting Care in our Community
Improving community care via assessments and coordinated services
Our Approach
Care Coordination emphasises the central role of General Practice in the health and social well-being of community-dwelling patients. The organisation advocates for a strong partnership between primary care and the community sector to implement strategies that include keeping people well, maintaining independence, engaging informal support, and utilising community-based models of care.
The goal is to enable aging in place by avoiding hospital admissions, shortening hospital stays, and delaying entry into residential care.
