We are uniquely positioned to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the health system and improve coordination of care to ensure patients get the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
Our Commissioning Framework
Commissioning refers to a continuous cycle of developing and implementing health services based on a rigorous process of planning, procurement, monitoring and evaluation.
In line with both government and community expectation of accountability and transparency, our commissioning approach has moved to an outcomes-based focus. Outcomes-based commissioning is a way of paying for health and care services based on rewarding the outcomes that are important to the people using them.
The Commissioning Framework is designed to enhance service delivery and patient outcomes in Western Sydney. The framework guides us to effectively and efficiently meet community health needs through integration, building our partnerships and advocacy.
Our Commissioning Framework Objectives
The Commissioning Framework is delivered through a three-phase process under which all commissioning activity and decision-making takes place. We use the National PHN Commissioning Model that was developed by the Department of Health in 2016.
Our Commissioning Framework objectives include:
- Support better health outcomes for the community
- Address identified needs for target groups and target areas
- Enable, enhance, and evaluate service delivery
- Co-design services with consumers, providers and experts to deliver on the Quadruple Aim
