About us
The Health Alliance (the Alliance) designs and delivers localised health solutions to improve how we give and receive care, from primary care to hospital care and beyond.
Established in 2017 as a collaboration between Metro North Health and Brisbane North PHN, the Alliance builds on a track record of partnership to break down barriers in healthcare for communities within North Brisbane, Moreton Bay and parts of the Somerset region.
The strategic direction of the Alliance is guided by a Joint Board Committee (JBC), with membership from both the PHN and Metro North Health, including the chief executives of each. The JBC is an important mechanism where overall governance is shared, in order to identify and respond to the system-wide challenges that no organisation can solve on its own.
This is achieved by providing a platform for health innovation, where patient-centred ideas and initiatives are developed, tested and evaluated.
The results speak for themselves.
The Alliance has worked to:
Establish a shared care model of Hospital in the Home to improve health outcomes for First Nations people.
Develop a care coordination and case management model to reduce demand on emergency departments.
Establish a co-commissioning model to improve outcomes from mental health funding.
Design a collective impact approach to improve health outcomes for children and families.
The Alliance is now leading the way for PHN partnerships with hospital and health services in Australia, demonstrating an effective and efficient approach to working together.
