ABOUT MURRUMBIDGEE PRIMARY HEALTH NETWORK

Firsthealth is federally funded to deliver the Primary Heath Network program across the Murrumbidgee region. Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network (MPHN) is one of 31 local and independent PHNs established nationally to support the primary healthcare sector and improve health outcomes, particularly for people at risk of poorer health outcomes. We deliver the PHN program across approximately 126,000 square kilometres to more than 250,000 people living in our 508 communities.

With the person at the centre of care, we plan and deliver programs to ensure the needs of our individual local communities inform our approaches. We achieve this by working with our community and partners to:

- Coordinate local services and systems to improve coordination of care.

- Commission primary health services to meet population health needs with a focus on access and equity.

- Support capacity-building to ensure sustainable healthcare workforce through quality improvement, professional development and other innovative measures.

ABOUT THIS REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP)

As a commissioner of services, MPHN strives to work with providers and consumers to improve access to high quality services and programs to enable wellness across the region.

After four years of service provision, MPHN seeks to evaluate WARATAH to determine the overall effectiveness of the program's model of care to meet the intended outcomes and to make recommendations for improvements.

OPPORTUNITY ON OFFER

MPHN is seeking proposals from suitably experienced providers to evaluate WARATAH. This will include an independent evaluation of the model effectiveness, provider and patient experience and identify recommendations for future model development.

This is an open tender process.
