Conference 2012
10th - 12th September
Future Focus of Care: Deeper and Wider
Rotorua Energy Events Centre
Queens Drive
Rotorua
Conference 2012 will focus on the broad directions for aged care providers for the years to come:
For aged residential care providers there are two broad directions in the coming years, going ‘deeper’ and ‘wider’.
Going deeper means focusing on doing what is being done now but working towards more efficient operations through changes in existing service mixes, size and management practices, such as premium charging and implementing quality improvements systems and introducing IT solutions, such as interRAI
The other option, going wider, means focusing on providing more services in the health market, such as operating a local health cluster, and/or developing standalone rehabilitation, step down care, acute care, or community support services, such as meals, remote monitoring , personal care and emergency care. Wider also refers to developing new services, such as ORAs or other mechanisms to release capital through deposit, or payment in advance schemes.
The decision to go deeper and wider is influenced by each operator’s strategic goals, the market in which they operate and by changes and innovation in the private and public health sector. For example, increasing acuity has an impact on service delivery, as does DHBs recent attempt to provide residential care in someone’s home, and consumers desire for increased choices, a continuum of care and ownership of their accommodation.
