The ABHI Context… • Will the outcomes and systems changes continue beyond June 2010? • How will you imbed systems change? • Are there programs you can link to and build on • Australian Primary Care Collaboratives • Local initiatives • Continuing focus of chronic disease and integration within Divisions business • The role of the GPLO??
