BUILDING A NEW SYSTEM

Our series of in-person hui begins from Monday 13 to 21 June, when we update you on the mahi of the MHA. Part of our update will include, an update on our health plan and other pieces of work that will help influence our new world. It is important that we take the time to discuss these Kaupapa and we understand the significance of getting it right. It is after all the blueprint for Māori health system delivery.

To deliver the best possible health system, one that is resilient, whānau-centred, and sustainable, requires a considered, robust, and innovative approach. To achieve the system shifts, we are taking the time to have the conversation and equipping the transformation with both reserve capacity and agility.

This includes operating models and accountability structures that will deliver, ensuring safe service delivery and sustainability of our system for the future.

Areas the hui will discuss:

  1. Direct commissioning: Hauora and Mātauranga Māori focus; longer term consolidated Māori provider contracts, focus on sustainability; significant provider and workforce development investments; innovation investments in procurement, data and digital
  2. Co-Commissioning: Prioritising for equity across commissioning in all areas
  3. Partnered Commissioning: Seeking opportunities for partnering with other commissioners, agencies, philanthropic entities

We hope you take the opportunity to meet with us to discuss and feedback on the presentations. Feedback that will inform plans and policies.

Travelling the motu

We are making our way around the regions and agencies to meet all of you and your teams. If we haven’t been to your organisation or district yet and you are keen to have us visit, just reach out to Margie and Riana and we can make this happen! It might take us a bit of time but we will be there.

The team at Wairarapa benefited from our visit by arranging meetings with local iwi, Board members, Māori Providers, their PHO and DHB management, along with allowing for informal kōrero with teams and people where it could be squeezed in. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou kātoa te whānau!

  • 17 June: Hawke’s Bay DHB
