Practices within ProCare’s Network have shown they are putting in an outstanding effort in managing cardiovascular and diabetes care for their communities. A recent review of health indicator data in the northern region has shown where ProCare practices have demonstrated exceptional results.

The data, collated by the Northern Region Clinical Governance Forum, highlights the high standard of care provided by the network.

Bindi Norwell, Chief Executive at ProCare says: “Our practices excelled in managing patient care for microalbuminuria, CVD secondary and primary prevention for diabetes, and overall CVD secondary and primary prevention. Congratulations on all your hard mahi, as these metrics are crucial for monitoring and improving patient outcomes.”

ProCare had the highest performance for these indicators compared to other primary health organisations in the northern region.

“This achievement underscores the effectiveness of the health care strategies and the importance of taking a population health approach to supporting patients. It’s also testimony to the high calibre mahi health care professionals in our Network undertake every day,” says Norwell.

Mihi Blair, Kaiwhakahaere Hauora Māori, Mana Taurite (General Manager of Māori Health and Equity), at ProCare says: “This is an important improvement for Māori and Pacific people receiving care from practices within the Network. The results of this mahi are significant for reducing the equity gap in our communities.”

“ProCare has the largest number of Pacific patients across Tāmaki Makaurau and Aotearoa than any other primary health organisation. These practices know the importance of supporting our most vulnerable communities in using a targeted approach. Our focus is to continue to support practices to focus on championing positive health outcomes for all our communities in need,” concludes Blair.

Additional support from clinicians as part of the Comprehensive Primary Care Teams has also played a significant role in monitoring patient care and providing additional clinical resource.

Norwell concludes: “Achieving these results highlights the great work being done by ProCare practices and positions us as a leader in the healthcare sector. It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication to providing the highest standard of care for our communities.
