Hospital Clinical Service Planning

In 2007 MidCentral District Health Board (MDHB) developed a comprehensive Clinical Service Plan (CSP) which identified the clinical services and models of care that will be needed to be meet the future demand of the population of the district.

Clinical Service Plan Focus

The CSP focuses on those clinical services that MDHB has responsibility for delivering in hospital, community and home-based settings. The CSP is developed for MDHB and is aligned to the broader context and vision for MidCentral District Health Board.

CSP: Foundation Document for Future Service Development

The CSP will be the foundation document for future service development and site development justifications for the next five to 10 years. The CSP will assist MDHB to plan for an appropriate clinical capacity to meet the expected demand for clinical services. It will also underpin the medium term funding plan for secondary services.

CSP - An Evolving Plan

The CSP takes into account that the health context is constantly changing and MDHB will need to continually adapt to changes. To manage this change, the project focussed on utilising the best availiable information to develop a CSP that is sufficiently robust to assist MDHB to plan for the future, with a focus on the next five to 10 years.

The CSP should be viewed as a foundation document rather than a final document.
