This discussion paper documents a Regional Integrated Planning Structure for health service providers in the the Northern Sector of the North West Metro. Region. The Regional Integrated Planning Strucutre presented in the paper reflects the findings from a series of 4 forums held in the second half of 2006 on health planning across the north of Melbourne. It is supported by a summary A3 sheet and an evaluation report of the forums.

This is a Report on "the Planning for a Healthier North Leadership Forums 2006" which aimed to increase awareness of, and explore options for the establishment of a regional, integrated health planning model. To achieve this a series of four forums were conducted, with the final forum being held on November 16, 2006. The agencies that attended the forums were from the seven local government areas of Moreland, Hume, Yarra, Darebin, Whittlesea, Banyule and Nillumbik and included representation from: · 7 Local Governments · 10 Community Health Services · 1 Royal District Nursing Service · 1 Victorian Aboriginal Health Service · 3 Divisions of General Practice · 3 Primary Care Partnerships · 7 Metropolitan Health Services The majority of organisational representatives were CEOs with the exception of Local Government where Directors of Community Services were asked to attend. Each forum had a specific focus, and common themes were explored across all. The forums were designed to facilitate group discussion and explore some of the realities of what regional integrated planning might mean. The common theme across all forums was the benefits of co-operation and working together. The importance of trust and sound partnerships were emphasised. Real examples were presented and discussed and the challenges and benefits of integrated planning were highlighted. Forum 1 focussed on principles for priority setting, what is important to agencies in the North and what are some of the underlying values. These principles will drive the regional integrated planning model. Forum 2 considered processes for how decisions are made and how agencies can work together. This was done through a group exercise of allocating a hypothetical $150 million across the region. Forum 2 highlighted processes that will be important to incorporate into the workings of the model. Forum 3 examined planning cycles — how should the planning that is currently occurring relate to a regional integrated planning model? Which planning work needs to be linked in with a regional model? Forum 4 looked at the issue of planning boundaries. What are the current boundaries, what works well and what boundaries make sense for a regional integrated planning model? There was also discussion of other aspects of the model that require additional consideration, including a vision for the Northern community and defining the scope of the model. See the report for more detailed information.

Care in your Community provides a ten-year vision for a modern, integrated and person and family centred health system. It is about refocusing and investing in the best mix of hospital and community-based integrated care services to better meet the needs of Victorians... We are moving forward from demand and waiting list management, from reactive service provision, to a strategic, long-term, proactive whole of system approach to health care in the community.
