The Pillars will continue to support Districts and Networks in a flexible manner that can be customised to meet statewide and local needs and will support measurement activities as required. Districts and Networks will participate with Ministry of Health and Pillars in evaluation, monitoring and regular reporting on the progress of the LBVC initiatives as specified in the Monitoring and Evaluation Plans. In 2019-20, districts and networks will: Continue to provide and expand the reach of clinical services in the most appropriate care setting for patients in LBVC Tranche 1 initiatives of Osteoporotic Refracture Prevention (ORP), Osteoarthritis Chronic Care Program (OACCP), Renal Supportive Care (RSC) and High Risk Foot Services (HRFS) through non-admitted services, including designated HERO clinics. Continue to implement, expand and embed LBVC approaches, including but not limited to a focus on activities outlined in Clinical Improvement Activity Briefs for Chronic Heart Failure (CHF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Inpatient Management of Diabetes. Continue to sustain improvement work and spread when interventions are reliably practiced to reduce falls and harm from falls in hospital. Districts should have a Sustainability Action Plan (including actions on how to progress implementation endorsed by the district Executive) to identify opportunities and risks to sustaining and spreading the Falls in Hospital Collaborative improvements. Participate in and provide data to inform monitoring, evaluation and other studies of LBVC initiatives. Utilise their PRMs Project Officer to support the implementation, collection and use of identified Patient Reported Measures and work with other district resources to support the broader work program to embed value-based healthcare approaches in the district.
