The team develop and promote relationships and planning tools which assist health professionals across the Waitaha Canterbury Health System. This enables collaboration to optimise care outcomes and self-management for patients with complex health needs.
Shared Care Planning describes a way of working which involves community, primary and secondary health services working together to proactively manage and plan care with patients who have complex needs.
Shared care plans enable coordination and improved communication between different health services to allow real time information sharing. The shared care plans are accessed through HealthOne and Health Connect South and include the Acute Plan and the Personalised Care Plan.
The Shared Care Planning team have a focus on design, implementation and education to encourage the use and integration of the Acute Plan and the Personalised Care Plan throughout the South Island.
