May project update

Written By Cristy Houghton

Our team has also been busy working toward a number of important steps, including:

  • Lumos rollout
    The Lumos program is part of the Ministry of Health’s move to support value-based healthcare and is funded by the Commonwealth Government under the Health Innovation Fund.  It is a new and ethically approved program that sheds light on the patient journey through New South Wales by securely linking encoded and de-identified data from general practices to local health district data across the state. So far, 25 practices in the Murrumbidgee district have agreed to take part in the program, which will provide the Living Well initiative with relevant, localised data to map and improve the journey for people living with COPD and CHF.

  • Care navigation app
    The Living Well team has commenced work with a technology provider to develop a patient-centred application (app) that will help patients on the Living Well Pathway to better manage their care and navigate the health system.
    The app is designed to streamline communications between patients and care providers, simplify monitoring of conditions and provide education to patients, which will facilitate their continued care in the community and empower them to self-manage their health.
