Hospital Avoidance and Substitution Health Service Plan - Draft

Closed 6 Feb 2015

Opened 6 Jan 2015

Overview

The Hospital Avoidance and Substitution Health Service Plan is the first comprehensive health service plan for hospital avoidance and substitution services in Metro South Health over the short (5 years) and medium (10 years) term.  It is a key directional plan and supports and enables our Strategic Plan.

This Plan was undertaken in two main stages:

  1. Identification and prioritisation of service needs
  2. Development of service directions and strategies.

 

Metro South Health is now seeking feedback regarding the proposed Health Service Plan.

In providing feedback, Metro South Health recommends that you read the Hospital Avoidance and Substitution Health Service Plan.

This Health Service Plan outlines the current and emerging service needs; identifies the challenges in meeting these needs; and identifies the key service directions and strategies to address the prioritised health service needs for hospital avoidance and substitution services across Metro South Health.

The Plan is provided as a draft for consultation and does not represent Metro South Health policy at this time.  No commitment has been made to implement any of the recommended service directions or strategies.

Why your views matter

Metro South Health is committed to delivering the best possible services within the catchment and values input from a range of stakeholders including consumers, carers, the community, GPs and other service providers.  The purpose of this engagement is to seek feedback on the draft Hospital Avoidance and Substitution Health Service Plan to ensure that our health services meets the current and future needs of our population.
