How did this project come about? The Central Primary Health Organisation (Central PHO) in collaboration with MidCentral District Health Board (MDHB) secondary services commenced work to establish Collaborative Clinical Pathways in The system uses the UK based ‘Map of Medicine’ (MoM) as a platform to support evidence based best practice guidelines. Radius Medical the Palms has agreed to be a pilot site to improve the utilisation of asthma pathways on Map of Medicine. Asthma in children pathways were chosen because: Ambulatory Sensitive Hospitalisations (ASH) for children during in MidCentral were most frequently caused by gastroenteritis, asthma and acute respiratory tract infections; Reducing Ambulatory Sensitive Hospitalisation in the 0-4 year old age group was identified as a priority for action by the Ministry of Health in 2007; ASH is used as a measure of the effectiveness of Primary Care health care delivery; We want to reduce the impact of possible overutilization of free services for under 6 year olds in general practice; and Child Health is a priority in the Primary Health 2013/14 Annual Plan.
