Strategic Approaches
The Board guides its decision making through applying a
strategic approach, particularly because of the need tooperate
within a financially constrained environment:
- Substitute, rather than supplementary, services;
- Upstream interventions, particularly
selfmanagement strategies like exercise, diet and Whanau
Ora;
- Reduce health inequalities, by targeting those with the
highest need;
- Increase health gain per dollar spent;
- Intersectoral collaboration and cooperation;
- Evidence based decision-making;
- Being prepared to change the paradigm of how we deliver
services (the "who" and the" how") so that we design services
that progress our strategic direction; and
- Patient centred care.
