HealthShare – Midland DHB Shared Service Agency
To meet service and financial needs and Ministerial expectations the Midland Region DHBs recognised that there needs to be a structured and coordinated approach to the planning and delivery of services that would show benefits from a regional approach to delivery. To this end agreement was reached by the five Midland DHBs to initiate a Midland Regional Cooperation Project under the direction of the Midland Chairs and Chief Executives (CEs). Envisaged outcomes include:
- Revision of the constitution and governance structure of the existing entity, HealthShare Limited to permit the inclusion of regional services. HealthShare is equally owned by the five Midland DHBs, with each having 20% shareholding.
- Incorporation of regional planning and activities (i.e. Midland Regional Clinical Service Plan) and clinical services coordination (e.g. Midland Cancer Network, Midland Mental Health & Addictions Network) within HealthShare Limited;
- Consideration of the options for regional activity of back office and support functions in the areas of:
* Procurement
* Information Systems
* Finance
* Legal and Regulatory
* Workforce (Recruitment/Learning & Development/IR)
* Media and Communications
* Audit and Risk
Project Manager Erica Holtsbaum has been seconded from Lakes DHB to progress a plan for the cooperative activities.
