What is commissioning?
Commissioning is a strategic, evidence-based approach to planning and purchasing healthcare services. Primary Health Networks (PHNs) are funded to commission services that address the prioritised primary healthcare of their region. PHNs achieve this by developing collaborative relationships with external providers to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and coordination of care.
SWSPHN's integrated commissioning framework
SWSPHN uses an integrated Commissioning Framework to engage, collaborate and partner with community to improve health outcomes for South Western Sydney. The commissioning process is more than just funding services, it is an ongoing cycle of planning, co-design, procurement and monitoring and evaluation to ensure healthcare needs and service gaps are met in our community.
For more information about the SWSPHN commissioning process, contact us by email enquiries@swsphn.com.au or phone 02 4632 3000.
