Background Hauraki PHO is a Kaupapa Māori Primary Health Organisation within the Waikato DHB with 131,899 funded patients supported by 35 general practice clinics. There is a high proportion of high needs patients within this population with a high proportion of Māori (34%) and quintile five people (36%). The population is older than the national average. Data from the 2011-13 NZ Health Survey found 32.7% of the Waikato DHB population experienced unmet need for primary health care in the past 12 months (higher than the national average of 27%).

Why it works “With input from general practice and allied health professionals, highly skilled registered nurses and support workers unravel complex medical and psychosocial issues at the community level and help the patient to develop a self management plan. This is not something we as GPs can do in a fifteen minute consultation. The results? A high level of patient satisfaction, improved outcomes for many and for myself as a GP the confidence that the patient is provided with a highly competent continuum of care beyond the consultation room door. Dr. Sue Greig. FRNZCGP GP Whitianga

Identifying eligible patients Identifying Patients with High Needs having 2 co-morbidities and requiring higher levels of care than usual – e.g. 6 GP/nurse visits in previous 6 months; expected to be about 30% of previous Care Plus patients and inclusive of those with HUHC. Identifying Patients with Extremely High Needs Patients with (2 hospitalisations) in previous 12 months for LTC Patients with uncontrolled LTC requiring complex primary care intervention - 8+ visits in previous 6 months or conversely low engagement which helps explain non-controlled LTC.
