District Strategic Plan
The District Strategic Plan sets out the broad direction MidCentral District Health Board intends to take for the planning and purchasing of health and disability services until 2015.
MDHB's District Strategic Plan
The District Strategic Plan goes across a continuum of health and wellbeing that includes:
- Health promotion and prevention
- Early detection and intervention
- Diagnosis and treatment
- Support, habilitation and rehabilitation
- Palliative care
- Research and surveillance
"Quality living - healthy lives" is MidCentral DHB's vision.
Working Toward Achieving the Vision – “Quality Living, Healthy Lives”
The District Strategic Plan describes in detail MDHB’s long-term pathway to achieve its vision of “Quality Living, Healthy Lives”.
Long Term Outcomes
MidCentral DHB wants to achieve these ten outcomes for its communities' health and wellbeing:
- People enjoy healthy lifestyles within a healthy environment
- The healthy remain well
- Health and disability services are accessible and delivered to those in need
- The health and wellbeing of Iwi Maori is improved
- Quality of life is enhanced for people with diabetes, cancer, respiratory illness, cardiovascular disease and other chronic (long duration) conditions
- People experiencing a mental illness receive care that maximises their independence and wellbeing
- The needs of specific age-related groups, eg older people, children/youth are addressed
- The wider community and family supports and enables older people and the disabled to participate fully in society and enjoy maximum independence
- Oral health is improved for people within MidCentral's district
- People's transition through the health and wellbeing continuum is well managed and informed
Measuring progress toward long term outcomes
The Ministry of Health has developed a set of indicators which, when viewed collectively, provide a picture of New Zealand's health. MidCentral DHB will be using these indicators and the data relating to its district.
The indicators cover all stages of life from infants through to older people, as well as "whole of life" measures.
More information about each of MidCentral DHB's 10 Health Priority Areas is available.
