4 Introduction from the Chief Executive The release of the Strategic Plan marks a pivotal moment in the history of the North Metropolitan Area Health Service (NMAHS). As a relatively young service, the intention is to unite the hospitals and community services that comprise NMAHS with a common vision and approach to improve the wellbeing of those we care for as we mature through this strategic plan. Rising demand for services and the other challenges we face necessitate an innovative approach to health care delivery. Building on our achievements so far, this Strategic Plan will channel our focus and attention to make the necessary whole-ofsystem improvements to ensure our patients receive safe, high quality, culturally secure care in an environment that delivers a positive patient experience. We are committed to continuous improvement and strong relationships amongst our staff, services and other stakeholders including WA Health, patients, carers and primary care providers. Essential to our journey is the commitment of our staff in an evolving environment. We recognise the valuable team we have and the Strategic Plan outlines our intent to complement our team s skills and diversity through attraction, retention and education strategies in the coming years. This Strategic Plan outlines how we will shape the future so our community can live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives. It is ambitious and, through implementation, will lay the foundations for a strong, sustainable future. Dr D J Russell-Weisz Page 4 of 44
5 North Metropolitan Area Health Service The NMAHS is a leader in delivering timely access to high quality health care to Western Australians and is the major provider of health services for the people in the north and eastern regions of Perth. The NMAHS is the largest health service in the metropolitan area with a 3,000 square kilometre catchment, including 17 local governments, and in which almost 1 million people over 40 percent of the State s population reside. Our Health Service provides a comprehensive range of health services within a number of locations including hospital, home and community based settings. The Health Service manages over 1,840 beds through three tertiary hospitals and three outer metropolitan hospitals, oversees the provision of contracted public health care from the privately operated Joondalup Health Campus and oversees the delivery of pathology and dental services across the State. A range of state-wide, highly specialised multi-disciplinary services are also offered from several hospital and clinic sites. In addition to providing clinical care, NMAHS also has a key role in research and education to ensure world-class evidence based health care and community capacity building interventions can continue to be delivered into the future. NMAHS comprises the NMAHS Mental Health Program (including Graylands Hospital), NMAHS Public Health and Ambulatory Care, PathWest, Sir Charles Gairdner Group, Swan Kalamunda Health Service and Women and Newborn Health Service. NMAHS manages the contract for the delivery of public health care at Joondalup Health Campus under a Public Private Partnership and manages the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre site (QEIIMC), a delegated responsibility of the QEIIMC Trust. NMAHS employs over 8,500 staff across our services, is aided by the support from our volunteers and assists with the teaching and training of students from a range of disciplines. On any average day, NMAHS (including contracted services): Cares for 1,659 people in its hospitals Performs 132 elective surgery procedures Delivers 29 babies through its hospitals and community midwifery program Provides radiotherapy for 224 people Sees 5,066 people in its outpatient clinics Sees 519 people in its Emergency Departments Has 590 people enrolled in its community mental health and rehabilitation programmes Has 87 people enrolled in hospital in the home services Has 2,022 people attending Dental Health Services Conducts 270 community physiotherapy classes per week across the metropolitan area Spends $5.1 million per day in delivering its services Page 5 of 44
6 This Strategic Plan This Strategic Plan sets a clear direction and focus for NMAHS from 2012 to It sets the high level strategic agenda and is enabled by the delivery of workforce, financial, Information Communication Technology (ICT) and infrastructure programs across NMAHS and the wider WA Health system. As a health service, it is critical that efforts are focussed on strategies that will deliver the best clinical outcomes for our patients and the best working environment for our staff. As demand for health services is ever increasing, NMAHS must remain responsive through clinical process redesign and continuous improvement. For this reason, the Strategic Plan is underpinned by evidence based practice. This Strategic Plan details our mission, vision and values that guide the day to day work of NMAHS and provide a focus for longer term planning, as outlined later in the document. Importantly, this Strategic Plan communicates to our key stakeholders where our efforts will be invested over the coming three years. This Strategic Plan sits within the wider planning context of WA Health, and in particular has been guided by the following documents: 1. WA Health Strategic Intent The NMAHS Strategic Plan aligns directly to WA Health s Strategic Intent , which focuses on care being provided across four pillars: 1. Caring for individuals and the community 2. Caring for those who need it most 3. Making best use of funds and resources 4. Supporting our team. 2. WA Health Clinical Services Framework (CSF) The CSF is the principal clinical planning document for WA Health. The CSF describes the high level service profile for hospital and non-hospital based services planned across NMAHS until 2020, and is based on current demographic data and projections of future service needs.

8 Our Achievements Over the past three years NMAHS has achieved a number of significant improvements in the way we deliver care to our community whilst ensuring a sustainable approach to the utilisation of resources. These achievements provide a solid base for continuing our service improvements over the next three years and include: Elective Surgery Capacity for elective surgery has been increased with an expanded Surgicentre, including a Pre-Admission Clinic and a Central Sterilising Support Department at Osborne Park Hospital (OPH). There has been an increase in the referral of medically suitable patients from tertiary to secondary sites for elective procedures, more effective waitlist management and increased recruitment of salaried surgeons. In addition, extended surgery sessions have been commenced and an accelerated rehabilitation program implemented post elective orthopaedic surgery at SCGH and OPH to improve patient flow. NMAHS is committed to further improvement to meet the National Elective Surgery Targets (NEST) which requires 95 per cent of Category 1 and 2 patients to be treated within clinically recommended times. Emergency Care The Four Hour Rule program which aims to admit, discharge or transfer 85% of patients who attend an emergency department within four hours has been progressively introduced at NMAHS sites since All sites have made significant gains in refining service provision to achieve this target as evidenced below, in an environment of significant increased demand. Reforms are now continuing at all sites in line with NMAHS commitment to achieving the National Emergency Access Target (NEAT) of 90% of patients admitted or discharged within four hours by Percentage of patients admitted, discharged or transferred within four hours Site Baseline Current Performance (March Quarter 2012) Current Target Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital 44% 70.9% 85% Swan District Hospital 67% 79.9% 85% Joondalup Health Campus 67% 67.5% 85% King Edward Memorial Hospital 89% 89.0% 85% Additionally, Joondalup Health Campus (JHC) Emergency Department capacity has doubled as part of the site s redevelopment and Swan District Hospital s Emergency Department upgrade is nearing completion. Meeting Demand through New Infrastructure The expansion of the Neonatal Critical Care Unit and Maternal Foetal Assessment Unit at King Edward Memorial Hospital is complete. This follows the opening of the Mother and Baby Unit in June Joondalup Health Campus has opened a new 55-bed public ward block, a new emergency department and an expanded Mental Health Unit as part of its continued redevelopment. Page 8 of 44
9 Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital has expanded its Intensive Care Unit, opened a new Geriatric Evaluation and Management Unit, new Nursing Observation Specials Area and an expanded Interventional Neuroradiology suite. Establishment of the Gairdner Rehabilitation Unit and the recruitment of a Rehabilitation Physician providing enhanced rehabilitation services for patients requiring slow stream rehabilitation has also occurred. New public health facilities include purpose fit clinics for the Humanitarian Entrant Health Service and the WA Tuberculosis Control Program. Reduced Dependency on Hospital Care Access to flexible home care has improved across NMAHS with increased staffing for the improved coordination of care for complex patients to reduce avoidable emergency department and hospital admissions. There has also been continued expansion of NMAHS inhome services through the Rehabilitation in the Home (RITH), Hospital in the Home (HITH), Rehabilitation and Aged Care Intervention Liaison Service (RAILS) at OPH and ongoing access to Hospital at the Home (HATH). Services in the community include the Early Supported Discharge Stroke Program, the Community Physiotherapy Service, the Women and Newborn Drug and Alcohol Service s satellite clinic at Bandyup Prison and Breastscreen mobile screening and health promotion initiatives. Access to community mental health services has been further enhanced through the development of extended hours (0830 to 2200) Assessment and Treatment teams. Innovative Practices to Enable Care Closer to Home NMAHS has embraced a number of practices to facilitate care being provided closer to home, including: Wounds West education online Telehealth New emergency department and inpatient unit at JHC Stroke unit at SDH Expanded emergency department at SDH Aboriginal Health is Everyone s Business Aboriginal Health is a key area of achievement that NMAHS is keen to build upon. This requires collaborative partnerships between the Aboriginal and non Aboriginal NMAHS key stakeholders to ensure that when Aboriginal people utilise services within the NMAHS, their cultural needs are recognised and met. The Aboriginal Health Unit (AHU) was established as a part of the NMAHS Public Health Unit in The role of the AHU is to develop and implement programs specific to the 12,000 Aboriginal people living in the north metropolitan region of Perth. The AHU strives to be a best practice unit which provides a supportive environment for its workforce to deliver effective and secure services to and for the local Aboriginal community. It consists of local Aboriginal people with strong community connections and knowledge. Page 9 of 44
10 An Aboriginal Maternity Services Support Unit has been established at the Women and Newborn Health Service with the key goals of building capacity and sustainability within the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Sector and building/fostering partnerships between maternal and child health service providers, whilst improving the cultural competence/security of main stream health services. The overall aim is to improve access to maternal and child health services for all Aboriginal women and families to close the gap in these important health outcomes. Specialist Aboriginal Mental Health Services were implemented in 2011 to enhance access to specialist mental health services through a co-consultancy model of care promoting cultural competency and security of mainstream mental health services.

11 Our Challenges and Opportunities Health care providers throughout Australia and other developed countries are facing many pressures and challenges as demand for services increase. NMAHS is no different, and as implementation of this Strategic Plan progresses, many challenges will be encountered. However, where there are challenges, there are also great opportunities to strengthen and build on the work that is already underway, and in doing so ensure the services provided are relevant for the future needs of our community. Challenges National Challenges The National Health Reform Report identified a number of challenges applicable to all health services: Ageing population Growing demand Increasing health care costs Increasing prevalence of chronic disease and co-morbidities NMAHS Key Challenges In addition to the above challenges, NMAHS faces a number of specific challenges in delivering services to its community. Population Distribution There are considerable demands on health services in the growing northern and eastern corridors of Perth. Infrastructure and workforce are key factors in meeting the growing needs of our community. Workforce Capacity and Skill Development Workforce pressures are already being felt across our health service and will increase with the impact of infrastructure and clinical reform and increased demand for services. There is an urgent need at a macro and micro level to become more effective at retaining the skills of our existing workforce and also continuing to attract new staff with the right skill set. Aboriginal Health NMAHS aims to achieve equity in access to health services for Aboriginal people in order to improve their health outcomes and life expectancy. Financial Sustainability Cost pressures continue to rise in health with 24% of the State budget spent on health, or almost $2,500 for every person each year in WA. Strong strategies are necessary to improve financial sustainability, including providing care closer to home and increasing primary health interventions and community care to reduce demand for expensive hospital services. Page 11 of 44
12 Clinical Service Reform There is a requirement for the development of new services and the changing requirements of existing services to match the CSF and to ensure models of care are based on evidence based services targetted to priority population needs. Staff Engagement NMAHS recognises there is still opportunity to engage with our staff to ensure that our service mix and delivery models are viable. Engagement, leadership and accountability with our staff at all levels can bring sustainable improvements in both productivity and quality of service. Opportunities National Health Reform Agenda In response to the ongoing growth in demand, the National Health Reform Agenda will see the Commonwealth Government increase its contribution to the funding of our public hospitals in the years ahead. The focus of this reform agenda is to ensure sustainability of our health and hospital services. This offers an exciting opportunity to improve performance for the best patient outcomes. Establishment of Governing Councils Under the national health reforms, the NMAHS will become a Local Health Network, with a Governing Council of community members and clinicians representing a broad range of interests, skills and experience. A key role of Governing Council members will be engaging with community members to ensure their needs and concerns are reflected in service planning and performance evaluation. Infrastructure Programme The infrastructure programme has a broad inpatient and non-inpatient focus including hospital and non-inpatient infrastructure to ensure that wherever possible seamless, patient focussed care is provided closer to home. Activity Based Funding/Activity Based Management (ABF/ABM) The ABF/ABM programme will integrate the key components of health service planning, funding and delivery to improve accountability and transparency to the community and our key stakeholders. Community Engagement To ensure all services are patient focussed, community engagement offers an opportunity for community involvement in decision making about the delivery of health services. Redevelopment Programme QEIIMC and the New Children s Hospital The collaboration of children s services with existing adult services on the QEIIMC provides a unique opportunity to enhance care pathways for adolescents and young people as they transition to adult care. Mental Health Commission Joint planning with the Mental Health Commission provides opportunities for enhanced collaboration with the community managed sector and primary care. Page 12 of 44
13 Our Strategic Priorities NMAHS has identified five strategic priority areas that provide the focus to enable us to deliver on our commitments towards achieving our vision over the next three years. The strategic priorities build on the organisation s achievements to date and reflect our response to the challenges and opportunities that have been previously described. Strategic goals have been developed for each Strategic Priority, and for each Goal actions detail how and when these Goals will be achieved within the life of this Plan. The Strategic Priorities and Goals build on WA Health s four Strategic Intent Pillars and the pillars of our NMAHS Mission: Caring for individuals and the community Caring for those who need it most Making best use of funds and resources Supporting our team. The alignment of our Strategic Priorities with these Pillars is represented in the table on the following page: Our Strategic Priorities for are: Clinical reform and reconfiguration Quality and safety Community and partnerships People and workplace culture Resourcing for sustainability.

39 Enabling Strategies A number of enabling strategies are detailed below. The commonality across each of these strategies is achieving the best patient outcomes. In recognition of this, community and consumer engagement is a significant driver in developing and delivering these strategies. NMAHS will develop a number of strategies to complement and enable the implementation of the strategic priorities. 1. Clinical Services Plan (CSP) In line with the CSF, NMAHS will revise and update its current CSP to delineate how primary, secondary and tertiary services will be delivered across the Area Health Service. 2. Workforce Plan It is vitally important that we have the right mix of staff, in the right place to deliver services as outlined in the NMAHS CSP and the CSF. Further, the workforce plan will ensure that workforce requirements are achievable and sustainable into the future. 3. Safety and Quality Plan The NMAHS Safety and Quality plan will outline a shared vision for enhancing the safety and quality of health care. Guided by the Western Australian Strategic Plan for Safety and Quality in Health Care and any future edition, the Safety and Quality Plan for NMAHS will build on our current clinical governance practices to further improve our health services and minimise clinical risk. 4. Reconciliation Action Plan The Reconciliation Action Plan details strategies that focus on relationships, respect and opportunities for Aboriginal people to receive the right services, provided by the right staff in the right locations. 5. Community Participation Plan The Community Participation Plan will be the blueprint for engaging the community, including consumers and carers, in meaningful and effective engagement. This plan builds on the extensive community participation already occurring across NMAHS, including patient satisfaction surveys and community representation on various committees and working groups. 6. Transition Plan The Transition Plan will detail the requirements to achieve the planned service reconfiguration and implementation of the CSF within NMAHS and across the whole of health system. Page 39 of 44
40 Implementation NMAHS s mission, vision and values will drive the implementation of this Strategic Plan. The successful implementation will require a whole of organisation focus with there being an alignment of leadership and management capability with the strategic priorities, supporting and enabling staff performance and responsibilities to achieve the desired outcomes. It is imperative that all services, programs, and staff have clarity and insight as to the organisation s vision and strategic priorities to achieve this vision to inform decision making and manage competing demands. The Plan s Strategic Priorities and Outcomes will be delivered through: WA Health Operational and Business Plans NMAHS Operational Plans Directorate or Divisional Business Plans As shown in the diagram below. WA Health Strategic Intent WA Health Operational Plan NMAHS Strategic Plan NMAHS Operational Plan Service/Directorates Division Strategic Plan Service/Directorates Division Operational Plans It is vital that the Strategic Plan remain flexible and current over the three year period until To ensure this, the outcomes and deliverables to achieve the five Strategic Priorities will be reviewed annually at the NMAHS Area Executive Group and with the Governing Council.
