Service Mix Model for Older People - 36p
Report prepared for Counties Manukau District Health Board [file size=314KB]
ISBN 978-0-9582842-9-5
System modelling is a part of CMDHB's Older People's Strategy "to plan future services for older people by developing a system dynamic model focusing on the coordination and integration across the continuum of services to ensure the variety and capacity of services meet their assessed needs".This model has been determined using available information within CMDHB and operational and management staff have been consulted in its development. All the key variables have tested in the model as different scenarios. Three combinations of all the scenarios have been developed.

Health Needs Assessment for Asian People in Counties Manukau - 114p
ISBN 978-0-9582842-7-1
People of Asian ethnicities form the fastest growing group in Counties Manukau society. This health status comparison looks at the Chinese, Indian and Other Asian ethnic groups living in Counties Manukau. Specific chapters on demography and socioeconomic circumstances, health outcomes, healthcare utilisation, risk and protective factors, child health and women’s/maternal health are included. The report found high rates of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in people of Indian and South Asian ethnicity which had been disguised by the 'averaging' of all Asian people into one group. This health needs assessment provides an ethnic-specific picture of Asian health to inform DHB funding and planning and ensure that interventions and services being designed by CMDHB take into account this relatively healthy but increasingly large sector of our community.Diabetes in CMDHB and northern region: Estimation using routinely collected data - 55p
ISBN 978-0-9582842-8-8
This report provides an estimate of the prevalence of diabetes in Counties Manukau and three other district health boards in the northern region. It uses three separate sources of routinely collected administrative data to identify individuals likely to have diabetes, during a two-year period (2006-2007). Laboratory monitoring test frequency and pharmaceutical prescription claim patterns in people with diabetes are reviewed. Medical and surgical hospital discharge data for people with diabetes are compared to discharge data for people without diabetes in 2007.

- 144ppInformation to support Maaori Health Planning in Counties Manukau
Report prepared for Counties Manukau District
Health Board [file
size=4429KB]ISBN 978-0-9582842-2-6
This document attempts to provide a summary of currently available data to inform Maaori health planning in the Counties Manukau district. It incorporates both quantitative population level data in Part One, and a review of currently available literature about what 'best practice' for Maaori health service provision might look like in Part Two. It is naturally a 'work in progress', recognising that not only is new quantitative data continually becoming available, but also that Maaori specific and Maaori responsive health services are increasingly contributing to the body of knowledge publicly available about effective ways to promote whaanau ora.
Mental Health and Addiction in Counties Manukau: Health Needs Assessment - 208pp
Report prepared for Counties Manukau District
Health Board [file
size=1727KB]ISBN 978-0-95822605-9
This report provides an overview of the mental health and addiction status for people of all ages. Extensive detail is given of all the major mental health conditions, their prevalence, and their importance to Counties Manukau District Health Board. Alcohol and substance use disorders, problem gambling, suicide and the mental health and addiction services provided to Counties Manukau (CM) residents are also covered. CMDHB specific data are provided where possible. Counties Manukau DHB has been significantly increasing the resources going into mental health services, and Counties Manukau residents show improved access to services as a result, with age-standardised access rates only slightly less than for clients resident elsewhere in New Zealand. Maori residents of CMDHB had higher rates of access to mental health services than did Maori in the rest of New Zealand.
CMDHB: Improving access to elective surgery 1996/97 – 2005/06 – 62pp
ISBN 978-0-9582260-8-0
Counties Manukau District Health Board has had a deliberate strategy to improve access to elective surgery through increased investment using benchmarking to the national intervention rates as a guide. As a result, Counties Manukau residents now have rates of publicly funded surgery similar to or higher than the New Zealand average for the first time. This document outlines in more detail the changes for Counties Manukau residents for elective surgery overall, and for specific surgical procedures. It includes information on waiting list numbers, waiting times, and procedure rates for the past 10 years. Operations covered include coronary intervention procedures, hip replacement, knee replacement, hysterectomy, cholecystectomy, tubal ligation, cataract operations, grommets, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, inguinal hernia repair and prostate operations.
Ethnic-Specific Health Needs Assessment for Pacific People in Counties Manukau - 189p
ISBN 978-0-9582260-6-6
The most extensive health status comparison attempted to date between the four largest Pacific ethnic groups living in Counties Manukau and New Zealand (e.g. Samoans, Cook Islanders, Tongans, and Niueans are compared to each other rather than simply grouping all Pacific people together). This Health Needs Assessment has specific chapters on demography and socioeconomic circumstances, risk factors, health outcomes, adult healthcare utilisation, child health and women’s/maternal health. It provides an ethnic-specific picture of Pacific health to inform: DHB funding and planning (e.g. Tupu Ola Moui – CMDHB Pacific Health and Disability Action Plan); priority action areas for different Pacific ethnic groups; the tailoring of interventions and service design; and potential areas for future research.
The Determinants of Child and Youth Health in Counties Manukau - 186p
Produced by the Paediatric Society for CMDHB, this report follows on from the previous child and youth report (Jan 2006). It investigates the detail behind some of the data in that report, exploring why differences between groups come about, and identifying potential intervention points for future health disparity strategy development. This report also seeks to bring together information from a variety of different sources and agencies lying outside the health sector. It includes information on family factors, CYFS notifications, household crowding, obesity, nutrition and physical activity, smoking and exposure to cigarette smoke, alcohol, disability, education, and benefits.
CMDHB Progress 2001-2006 - 28p
This report aims to show the changes in health for residents of Counties Manukau District Health Board (CMDHB) over the past 5 years since the advent of DHBs, the changes in health services provision, and the financial investment incurred.
Health of Older People - 179p
ISBN 0-958-22604-0
This profile provides demographic and health measures illustrating the diversity of the current cohort of people aged 65 years and over in CMDHB. The outlook for CMDHB older persons is very positive. It is anticipated that the population aged 65 years and over will live longer and be increasingly characterised by ongoing independence, continued participation in work, home and community, and health for a longer proportion of their older age than their predecessors. The increasing numbers of older people aged 85 years and over, increasing numbers of Asian, Maori and Pacific peoples, the high proportion of women in older age and likely increase in demand on health services are principal policy considerations for CM.
There is considerable scope for health gain and this data will help to inform the local HOP strategy to best meet the current and projected CMDHB older population health.
Child and Youth Health - 176p
Produced by the Paediatric Society for CMDHB this report covers areas such as mortality, hospitalisations, low birth weight, breastfeeding, hearing loss, oral health, asthma, and suicide and injuries. 0-24 year olds are included. This group makes up nearly a third of the CMDHB population; an understanding of the factors that contribute to their wellbeing is essential for ensuring the health of our people.
