Gave Information About Managing Condition / What to do for Problems

It is essential for the health service to encourage our patients and their carers to manage their illness and plan for problems they may encounter. It is important to promote self-management and self-care to our patients and carers so they are able to manage their illness safely while at home and in our health service.

The solutions below showcase how some health services are working to improve in this area.

Solutions

The Triple A (Adolescent Asthma Action) program was implemented across schools in Auburn (western Sydney). It is an innovative, peer-led approach, to improve asthma self-management in young people.

The Project RED (Re-Engineered Discharge) program recreates the discharge process to improve the process and post-discharge care.
