A request for proposal (RFP) is now open for eligible organisations to deliver care coordination services to support patients through My Care Partners – a program aimed at supporting general practices in South Western Sydney to manage patients with complex chronic diseases who are at risk of being hospitalised.
About My Care Partners
My Care Partners (MCP) is a joint collaborative initiative of South Western Sydney PHN (SWSPHN) and South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD). The program commenced in 2021. Currently, 23 general practices are enrolled, supporting 121 patients.
The main aim of My Care Partners is to reduce the risk of potentially preventable hospitalisations and improve the care for patients with chronic diseases who are at risk of being hospitalised. We do this by providing a patient-centred, integrated healthcare neighbourhood.
Procurement overview
To expand capacity of the program to more practices and patients, SWSPHN is seeking to appoint a service provider, external to SWSPHN and SWSLHD, for care coordination.
The commissioned provider will deliver the care enabling/facilitation and clinical services (care coordination/care navigation) components of the My Care Partners program to patients who have complex health needs, unmet social needs, and are identified as being at risk of potentially preventable hospitalisations.
