The Shared Care Planning team transitioned to Pegasus Health in February 2023.

Shared Care Planning describes a way of working which involves community, primary and secondary health services working together to proactively manage and plan care with patients who have complex needs.

Shared care plans enable coordination and improved communication between primary, secondary and community health services and real time information sharing. The shared care plans are accessed through HealthOne and Health Connect South and include the Acute Plan and the Personalised Care Plan.

The Shared Care Planning work focuses on design, implementation and education about shared care plans to encourage the use and integration of the Acute Plan and the Personalised Care Plan throughout the South Island.

The acute plan:

  • is a patient-centred plan which documents the:
    • patient’s underlying complex health conditions, and
    • management of exacerbations of underlying complex health conditions for health providers unfamiliar with the patient.
  • is for patients with moderate to high risk of attending acute services over the next 12 months.
  • aims to support rapid, safe management of patients with complex health conditions, and those who are at moderate to high risk of attending acute services over the next 12 months.

The information is intended to support decision making, regarding the need for admission, investigations, and appropriate setting for acute care.

Contributors may complete only the parts of the plan that they are familiar with, and request colleagues to complete it. The completed plan is shared electronically across the Canterbury health system.

The Personalised Care Plan:

  • aims to support patients to work with care teams to coordinate care around their needs and priorities and to make the goals and activities visible to other clinical teams.
  • is a patient-centred plan which documents:
    • problems the patient currently experiences
    • what they want to achieve with regard to their health or general well-being, and
    • actions the patient and their care team are going to take to achieve these goals.
  • is for patients who have moderate to high complexity health needs, including:
    • frailty
    • 1 or more chronic conditions
    • complex social and medical needs
    • palliative care
    • long-term significant disability.
  • can be created or updated by any clinician.

Plans can focus on a small subset of the patient’s health care or be created across a range of different conditions.

The completed plan is shared electronically across the Canterbury health system.

All you need to know about Personalised Care Plans

10 Apr, 2019 | Return|

Electronic shared care plans are ‘living documents’ which give multiple professionals across different services consistent and coordinated access to their patient’s documented healthcare plans.

The suite of shared care plans includes the Advance Care Plan, the Acute Plan and the newest plan – the Personalised Care Plan (PCP), all hosted in Health Connect South.

The PCP is a patient-centered plan which documents patient concerns, what they want to achieve with regard to their health or general wellbeing, and actions the patient and their care team are going to take to achieve these goals. The aim is to facilitate a collaborative partnership between the patient and their care teams; to coordinate rehabilitation around their needs and priorities, and to make the goals and activities visible to other clinical teams.

The long-term aim is to reduce duplication of information, release clinical care time and provide a seamless transfer of consistent information with a single point of access.

The PCP can be accessed via Health Connect South under the ‘Care Plans’ tab and can be created or updated by the clinician actively involved.

More than 1,500 people in Canterbury now have a PCP from the Community Rehabilitation Enablement and Support Team (CREST), General Practice, and Allied Health including Burwood Allied Health teams and Allied Health within the acute services who have been using it for discharges to CREST and transfers of care to Burwood. Over the coming months the plan will be rolled out across other services and teams.
