Continuously Improve our Practices
Ki te whakapai rōnaki ake ō tātou nei mahi
Priority 1: Patient/Consumer and Family-Centred Approaches
Patients/consumers and their families/whanau often experience feelings of
anxiety, vulnerability, helplessness, uncertainty and a loss of autonomy when
they are using health and disability services. It is important for our sector to
acknowledge and respond to the perspectives, preferences and values of the
patient/consumer and their family/whanau and to encourage and facilitate
participation in care/support and decision making.
Services that are delivered in a patient/consumer and family-centred manner not
only positively impact on the patient/consumer experience but are also known to
improve outcomes.
