SECTION 1: APOLOGIES
Received.
SECTION 2: HE PUKENGA HAUORA
Presentation from Josephine Faragher, Kaiwhakahaera o Nga Hohipera on the objectives and service priorities of the service and how engagement occurs with whanau.
The service began in 2004 to provide quality hauora Maori support to patients accessing hospital services and be an advocate and liaison between the patient, clinician and hospital services. Therefore creating an environment that enables greater participation by whanau during the admission, treatment care and discharge phases.
For the last three quarters engagement occurred with 43% of Māori patients. 28% of Māori patients were discharged before engagement could occur, 12.5% declining service and contact not occurring with 16.5% which are either babies or children.
It was felt that better visibility of the service would assist with increased contacts with whanau, and that improved knowledge of the service by staff on the wards who offer the service would be beneficial. A challenge with internal DHB services not referring was highlighted. The IHB requested; data split between Wairau and Nelson, a further explanation on any other barriers to service access identified, and to elevate any roadblocks to input into CONCERTO and PICS
Agreement
Received the presentation
Agreed to the following actions:
o Note it was the first time HPH had trialled Key Performance Indicators for the service
o Note IHB want to be kept updated on Whanau Ora Plan integration between concerto and SI PICs
o Note aspirations to have a social worker aligned to HPH
o Note the presentation should highlight challenges for the service
o Note DHB needs to profile HPH through its website and health expos.
Recommend that He Pukenga Hauora present their report to ELT/HAC
SECTION 4: MINUTES – 30 APRIL 2015
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 17
A profile on the NMDHB website was suggested, and will be followed up by GM Māori Health Action. It was further recommended that He Pukenga Hauora provide a presentation to ELT and HAC on the service.
Issues that were identified that would benefit Māori utilising hospital services were; increased health literacy, better access to oral health services, reduction in DNAs, support at FSA outpatient clinics, and a qualified Māori social worker to work with whanau.
Feedback on the service is good, however while this is given directly to the service information is not provided from the General Patient Feedback form. It was recommended that the Quality Service Team provide the IHB; how is feedback channelled from the General Patient Feedback, what information is being gathered and analysed, what improvements have occurred as a result of feedback received Action.
SECTION 3: DECISIONS, ADVICE AND GUIDANCE TO DHB
One of the vexing questions often raised by IHB is by what mechanism does it advise or guide the DHB Board. Activities to date include the IHB Chairs report, CPHAC/DiSAC and HAC representation. In addition, the IHB/DHB Chairs may meet and there is the regular Board to Board meeting. However, when IHB want to offer is own thoughts or advice or raise a topic for discussion these tend to happen at the six-month meetings.
The paper was received, and the recommendation that requests submitted to the DHB will be in writing appended to the Chairs monthly report to the Board was agreed, and where required an IHB member be present to assist, and that the Chair‟s report be circulated to IHB for input/feedback.
Agreements
Receive the report
Approve the recommendations in the paper and that IHB will report to the DHB through the Chairpersons report
Recommend to the DHB Board the change in process
Note that a template to the DHB Board covering advice, guidance or recommendations needs to have a template that gives a summary to IHB topic and recommendation made to the DHB Board
Note IHB Chairperson will talk to the DHB Board chairperson about IHB attendance
Note IHB Chairs report to be circulated to IHB members before being submitted to the DHB Board
SECTION 4: MOH REVIEW OF IWI RELATIONSHIP BOARDS
The Ministry of Health will conduct a national review on Iwi Relationship Board partnership arrangements, and will visit each DHB. This will be completed against the Crown Maori Relationship Instrument developed by the Ministry of Justice and Te Puni Kokiri in 2006.
The MOH have been asked which checklists might be used to complete its review, and whether the Iwi‟s perspective about the relationship be sought during the review.
Agreements
Receive the report
SECTION 4: MINUTES – 30 APRIL 2015
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 18

SECTION 5: IHB WORKPLAN

SECTION 6: PACIFIKA KIDPOWER PROJECT
The report on the domestic violence prevention programme „Famalosi Aiga – The Pasifika Kidpower Project – positive safety skills with children‟ is received, and a letter from the IHB supporting the funding application to JR McKenzie Trust for the project is agreed Action.
Agreement
Received the report
Note the first phase is to roll out to the Samoan community and other local Pacific communities
Approved the IHB chairperson signs a letter of support to JR McKenzie Trust seeking funding.
SECTION 7: GM MĀORI HEALTH REPORT
RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE GM MĀORI HEALTH REPORT IS RECEIVED
Moved: Sonny
Seconded: Lee
AGREED
While the IHB is formed under statutory obligation to provide advice to the DHB there may need to be broader mechanism than the IHB for the DHB to consult and work with Iwi. The IHB is a starting point, but in terms of growth and progression as each Iwi‟s capacity grows the DHB could strengthen their relationship with Iwi outside of this forum. Discussions with Iwi may highlight other issues they want to discuss directly with the DHB. Feedback from IHB members on Iwi investing in Healthy-Homes project is that it is not appropriate at this time.
Agreement
Received the report and taken as read
Recommend and note to DHB Board:
o The Iwi are still in post settlement and establishment phase; and

MEMO
To: Iwi Health Board
From: Harold Wereta, General Manager
Date: 26 May 2015
Subject: Proposal for Strategic Framework for Iwi and Agency Collaboration
A presentation from the working group of the Regional Intersectorial Forum will be provided on a proposed structure for a Strategic Framework for Iwi and Agency Collaboration. At this stage the work is formative and seeks feedback from the IHB.
There are four suggested working parties or sub-committees under the main forum. They are social, economic, environmental, and culture. You may want to comment on:
a) Are there any other forums that replicate any of the four suggested working parties?
b) Does the IHB see itself as being particularly aligned to any of the four areas of work?
The working group will take feedback or recommendations from the IHB to the main Iwi agency forum.

MEMO
To: Chris Fleming, CE
From: Harold Wereta, General Manager
Date: 26 May 2015
Subject: GM Māori Report
1. RECOMMENDATION
IHB is asked to:
Receive this report
Approve the minor word changes to the IHB work plan in section 4
Approve the change in time frame for the Maori Health Framework (4.3)
2. PURPOSE
This paper submits the General Managers report to IHB covering quarter three for 2014/15 and the most recent month to month activity. A new format is provided and this links directly to my key performance areas.
3. PROGRESS REPORT
3.1 Service Provision
3.1.1 Te Piki Oranga
(a). Enrolments
Enrolments for the third quarter were slightly down. This is partly to do with due to a plateau in referrals to the service and discharges.
The unmet need in blue is an averaged estimate on what the service should be working towards to build its enrolled population living in NZ Dep 7 – 9 communities.
It‟s important to note that client registrations for Tamariki Ora and Maori Mental Health have not been included as they operate under separate data bases. These clients/ whanau will be transitioned to the new Athena Penelope database.
(b). Ethnicity
Maori continue to be the main population group enrolling with Te Piki Oranga. This is followed by NZ European. We have used the total enrolled population for this service to establish a baseline to compare ethnicities for the service.
SECTION 5.1: GMs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 27
Given that Te Piki Oranga is a specialised Maori health provider, you would expect their focus to be towards the Maori community. However, they do access NZ European and other communities if they live in low domicile communities or who are partners to Maori who are enrolled with the service.
(c). Age Distribution
Those aged between 25 – 59 years account for the higher percentage of the enrolled population.
Based on the graph, it may suggest that within this same age group this is where the highest percentage of enrolments reduced for the service.
The DHB will monitor the quarter four result to see if there is a continuing trend.
3.1.2 Information Technologies
(a) Progress
The Te Piki Oranga Board has given approval to move forward and start the implementation of Athena Penelope. The IT system is expected to be implemented by 30 June 2015.
Athena Penelope (or Penelope) is a client management solution designed for mid-sized or larger mental and social service agencies. The system allows an organisation to manage patient referrals, scheduling, clinical documentation and financial performance/ position and more. The technology offers a secured i-cloud client service.
Penelope centralises care management, social work, human and disability services. The case file structure is able to support individual and family case files that receive services by multiple providers.
This new IT platform will replace IMAP which was found to have its limitations especially in regards of clinical requirements for Te Piki Oranga.
The DHB has worked with Te Piki Oranga to free funds to allow the implementation to happen.
Te Piki Oranga advises they will implement the system in three phases:
IT software/ hardware implementation between May/ June 2015. This includes system checks and IT compatibility
Phased training to all staff members across Te Piki Oranga covering June/ July 2015
Specialised training to Te Piki Oranga management to become „IT experts‟ in the system and undertake quality control and train the training.
(b) Exit from Existing IT Systems
Te Piki Oranga presently utilises IMAP (Integrated Management Assessment Programme) and MedTech. Licenses for both systems have been extended to about September to allow for data extraction and transition to Athena Penelope.
SECTION 5.1: GMs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 28
(c) Ministry of Health
As part of the Maori Health Provider Development Scheme (MPDS), Te Piki Oranga made submission to support the implementation and roll out of the Athena Penelope system.
The DHB was advised that the policy arm within the Ministry, the Maori Business Unit had instructed the operational arm of the Ministry responsible for MPDS funding, Sector Capability and Implementation, to stop all IT application request.
The Ministry of Health, alongside Te Puni Kokiri and the Ministry of Development in 2014 contracted IBM to design and develop a new IT platform known as the Whanau Ora Information System. The tool is now in the testing phase with three large providers who are part of the nationally funded Whanau Ora Collectives.
The DHB has asked the Ministry to provide policy clarification on its position. We understand they do not want to fund duplicate systems and this tool will be the only one used nationally. However, there has been no confirmation. The Ministry has been asked to:
Confirm if the Whanau Ora IS system will be used nationally?
Clarify what impact this decision has for providers like Te Piki Oranga who are outside the nationally funded collectives?
Clarify what impact the Ministry‟s position might have on market forces if providers are asked to accept a nationally developed tool and have their own system? The position maybe viewed as ant-competitive?
Clarify their policy intentions with regards to Whanau Ora and the impacts this might have to providers who are not Whanau Ora aligned?
These questions have been elevated to Sector Capability and Implementation and the National Maori General Managers Reference Group for discussion and clarification.
4. IHB WORK PLAN This section recommends minor amendments to the IHB work plan. In summary: Description Current Plan Wording Recommended
Wording Reason for Change
Te Piki Oranga Receive and review quarterly reports
Receive quarterly updates on performance against outcomes
The previous wording was considered to be operational and linked to their contract.
Iwi Health Monitoring Framework
Endorse by IHB Recommend to DHB and PHOs Receive and review regular monitoring framework reports
Refer to section 6.3 to this report
DHB/ IHB would need to go through a process to consult and get buy-in to framework
5. MAORI HEALTH PLAN 2014/15 IMPLEMENTATION A draft report was submitted on 30 April covering DHB progress. The next up date will be provided in June/ July for your information.
SECTION 5.1: GMs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 29
6. DHB PROJECT WORK 6.1 Maori & Pacific Oral Health Project Through the budgeting process for 2015/16, an Oral Health project for Maori and Pacific has been approved. The project was proposed because there are significant inequalities in oral health status for Maori compared to the whole population. This shows up in key childhood oral health status indicators, for example: Less than half of Maori 5 year olds have no caries
Maori children in Year 8 at school have a higher average number of decayed, missing and filled teeth than the rest of the Year 8 population
A lower proportion of Maori pre-school children are enrolled with the Community Oral Health Service.
A project plan will be presented to the Oral Health Advisory Group for advice. The plan is focused on implementation and not about researching the cause issue. One point the CE raised with me was the balance between „what the project expectations might bring up versus existing community health services being able to respond.‟ This question will be considered as part of the implementation pathway. Work is also underway looking at community action/ involvement (Pacific/ Maori) and using known forums to improve service promotional messages across the district. 6.2 A Project to Improve the Cancer Pathway for Maori patients in Te Tau Ihu o te
Waka a Maui. The objectives of the project were to: better understand the incidence and impact of cancer for Maori in Te Tau Ihu
better understand what stands in the way of Maori getting timely diagnosis and treatment when they have cancer
develop improvements that support and enhance the patient journey for Maori, so they have the best chance of improved health outcomes.
Te Piki Oranga was engaged to manage the project and appointed Dr Melissa Cragg to undertake the project work. The process has included a range of stakeholders, including significant input from people and whanau/families that have experienced cancer. Preliminary findings were presented to a Ministry of Health-organised workshop in April along with information from a range of other initiatives underway in other part of NZ. These preliminary findings included: Data available not of a high quality and difficult to use for effective analysis Maori appear to be presenting late or not at all for diagnosis and treatment Small numbers of Maori on FCT register Small numbers of Maori accessing hospice/palliative services Often Maori patients have co-morbidities that make their case complex The project built on some work that had already commenced in early 2014, where key stakeholders in Nelson Marlborough for Maori health cancer services had begun to map the pathway for cancer patients and identified a number of issues for Maori that contribute to delays in accessing treatment with resulting inequity in outcomes.
SECTION 5.1: GMs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 30
The DHB is now working on a programme of action to implement the recommendations. We have made submission to the Southern Cancer Network trying to secure funding covering the next two years. SCN are screening/ vetting applications as part of the Ministry process. The plan is to recruit a Nurse Educator. Their role is to work and build awareness of Maori cancer pathways with Senior Medical and nursing staff and coordinate actions/ activities that impact of Maori patients/ whanau that are on a journey with cancer. The outcome is to improve diagnostic pathways and to lessen the burden of stress on Maori. 6.3 IHB Monitoring Framework IHB is asked to approve an amendment to the work plan timetable for IHB/Maori Health Monitoring Framework. The timeframes need to be reviewed and we suggest the following: Description Action By When
Maori Health Monitoring Framework is endorsed
Paper to IHB May
A consultation report is drafted and agreed to by ELT/ IHB
Report drafted for IHB/ ELT June
Consultation on the framework happens with Clinical Governance Groups, PHOs, community groups and wider sector

MEMO
To: NMDHB
From: Dawn McConnell
Chair, Iwi Health Board
Date: 18 May 2015
Subject: Iwi Health Board Chairs Report
Purpose
This paper submits an update to the DHB Board about the activities of the Iwi Health Board (IHB).
I. HE PUKENGA HAUORA (NMDHB MĀORI INPATIENT SERVICES)
A presentation from Josephine Faragher, Kaiwhakahaere o Nga Hohipera on the objectives and priorities of the service and how engagement occurs with whanau was provided. The service began in 2004 to provide quality hauora Maori support to patients admitted to hospital services and be an advocate and liaison between the patient, clinician and hospital services. Therefore creating an environment that enables greater participation by whanau during the admission, treatment care and discharge phases.
Feedback on the presentation was positive and it was recognised that the service key performance indicators where being trailed for 2014/15. However it was felt that better visibility of the service would assist with increased engagement with Māori patients (currently 43%). The IHB provided several recommendations including that He Pukenga Hauora provide a presentation to ELT and HAC on the service.
II. DECISIONS, ADVICE AND GUIDANCE TO NMDHB BOARD
The mechanism for the IHB to provide advice or guidance to the DHB Board has mainly been through the IHB Chairs report, CPHAC/DiSAC, HAC representation, and when the IHB want to offer its own thoughts or advice or raise a topic for discussion these tend to happen at the six-month meetings.
The IHB have agreed to provide formal recommendations to the Board for approval appended to the Chairpersons report, with the expectation that those recommendations be directed to the CE and onto the relevant General Manager for a response or action.
It is expected that a template will be developed to provide a summary of the topic and recommendations being made to the DHB Board.
III. IHB WORKPLAN 2015/16
The workplan has been approved and will provide a strategic direction for the activity of the IHB. It is appended for your information.
IV. MOH REVIEW OF IWI RELATIONSHIP BOARDS
The MOH is conducting a national review on Iwi Relationship Board partnership arrangements, and will visit each DHB. This will be completed against the Crown Maori Relationship Instrument developed by the Ministry of Justice and Te Puni Kokiri in 2006. It is expected that the MOH would meet with both the IHB and Chair of NMDHB.

V. PACIFIKA KIDPOWER PROJECT
The IHB agreed to provide a letter of recommendation for the Nelson Tasman Pasifika Community Trust to a funding application to JR McKenzie Trust to develop ‘Famalosi Aiga – The Pasifika Kidpower Project - positive safety skills with children as part of a domestic violence prevention programme.
The project is geared towards the Pasifika community and will begin with the Samoan community first. The Samoan elders, church leaders and youth have identified domestic violence as an issue in the community. This project will give the Samoan community the opportunity to create and deliver a culturally appropriate and independently evaluated (by a Pasifika researcher) programme that will be adapted and assimilated by other Pasifika communities.
VI. AGED RELATED RESIDENTIAL CARE
The question of what the ARRC funding covers, and the lack of equity if limited numbers of Maori are accessing services is being discussed by the IHB. Planning for the future, can the current system support other models of care for elderly Māori?
It has been recommended and agreed by the IHB that a review of models of residential care for elderly Māori be undertaken to inform future planning.
VII. ORAL HEALTH
A presentation on the oral health status for children, service enrolment, and service utilisation, current and planned initiatives was provided by Rob Beaglehole. The health status of Māori children is poorer than non-Māori. A lower proportion of Māori children are caries-free at 5 years and the % caries-free has declined over the last 3 years, Māori children at 5 years have almost twice as many decayed missing and filled teeth as non-Māori and higher presentations at the Emergency Department particularly Marlborough which is three times higher than Nelson. Every year over 200 children undergo general anaesthetic dental procedures of which around 60 (or 30%) are Māori children.
The IHB will receive another presentation from Rob with additional data and is expecting at some time to receive a policy position paper on fluoridisation.
The IHB would like oral health/fluoridisation as an agenda item with a further presentation from Rob when the two boards meeting 30 July.

MEMO
To: Board Members
From: Chris Fleming, Chief Executive
Date: 20 May 2015
Subject: Chief Executive’s Report
INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS The financial performance for the month of March saw a $282k deficit against a planned deficit of $221k. This was a small deterioration of $62k against plan. On a year to date basis the DHB is now running at a $2.5m surplus compared to a planned surplus of $1.9m, so $591k ahead of plan. A detailed forecast for year-end has not been completed, however we remain confident of exceeding the $1.5m budget surplus, while ensuring that we meet, and exceed, overall service volumes and health targets. Elective surgical performance was virtually on plan for the month with a plan of 493 and total delivery of 510, or 17 favourable for the month. On a year to date basis total health target discharges are estimated at 5,157 compared to a plan of 5,005. This represents a favourable result of 152 discharges or 103% of the plan. IDF numbers incorporated into these results are estimated for April as reporting is always a month delayed.
MATTERS ARISING Mental Health and ERMS. Mental Health referrals were excluded from the scope of ERMS as they were being managed through the Single Point of Entry (SPOE) and, more recently, CARES (Mental Health). SPOE/CARES is used more frequently by Nelson general practitioners as nearly all practices use the MedTech practice management system. The current CARES referral is an Advanced Form available from MedTech. ERMS is now available for use in all practices, irrespective of practice management system
Marlborough general practitioners have requested to be able to use ERMS to generate and send mental health referrals. There is an existing Mental Health referral template in ERMS and a preliminary discussion has been had with hospital mental health services about the minimum referral data set needed to make triaging decisions and what, if any, changes need to be made to the referral template in ERMS.
To ensure district-wide consistency in approach, there is a meeting on 22 May with the Mental Health GM and Services Managers, Kimi Hauroa Wairau scheduled to ensure that any developments are aligned.
SECTION 5.5: CEs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 41
I) FLUORIDATION
During the month we presented to both the Tasman District and the Nelson City Councils on their long term plan. We have also given a written submission for the Marlborough District Council plan and are awaiting the hearing for that submission. In our submissions we are urging the Councils to include fluoridation as a priority. Despite the information that the anti-fluoride lobbyists portray, the evidence demonstrates that community water fluoridation is safe, cost effective, equitable, and an appropriate measure in preventing tooth decay. The incidence of tooth decay within our local community is rapidly rising, and is contributing to widening the gap between the health outcomes of different population groups, particularly the most deprived. As an example the children of the Nelson Marlborough district with tooth decay, at the age of five, has increased from 33% in 2011 to 45% in 2013. Of those, Maori children have seen the most significant increase from 50% in 2011 to 69% in 2013. Some of this increase will be attributable to the introduction of the Community Oral Health Service new models of care. In the new model all children are x-rayed whereas previously they were not and, as such, detection is earlier.
Tooth decay is reported to be the single most common chronic disease among New Zealanders of all ages, and is responsible for significant health loss with „costs‟ in terms of lost years of healthy life being equivalent to 3/4 that of prostate cancer and 2/5 that of breast cancer. Fluoridation of water supplies is shown to be a safe and effective preventative measure against tooth decay that reaches all population groups. In a report on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand and the Office of the Prime Minister‟s Chief Science Advisor, which reviewed the scientific evidence for and against the efficacy and safety of fluoridation of public water supplies, the conclusion was that the levels of fluoridation used in New Zealand create no health risks, and that it is appropriate that fluoridation of water supplies is expanded to assist those New Zealand communities that currently do not benefit from this public health measure, particularly those with high rates of tooth decay. Its effectiveness is also highlighted by the results of another MOH led study which showed 40% less tooth decay on average for children in fluoridated areas. While the anti-fluoride lobbyists will undoubtedly raise many objections, we must listen to organisations like the World Health Organisation, New Zealand and American Dental Associations, the American Academy of Paediatrics, the Royal Society of New Zealand and the Chief Science Advisor and do the right thing for our population. Ironically if the Dental Association was being driven by a self serving agenda it would not support fluoridation as it will actually reduce demand for dental services over time. For those people who have such strong views simply buying a water filter, which are readily available, will remove the fluoride from their drinking supplies.
II) CLINICAL SERVICES SUMMARY OUTPUT PERFORMANCE
Overall clinical service volume performance is summarised in the tables below. Under delivery of acute activity has reduced on a year to date basis from 6.19% last month to 5.38%. This, however, is represented by a continued under delivery of acute surgical activity, but with a 13% over provision (against target) of acute medicine and a 30% over
SECTION 5.5: CEs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 42
delivery in neonatal / medicine. Caution needs to be taken in interpreting the specific timing of the changes as we have shortages in coding staff, and this could impact on the timeliness of accurate coding information. The busyness of acute activity does, however, support the concern over the increased nursing costs during the month. The reduction in bed nights has also significantly reduced from 844 last month to 380 on a year to date basis this month. The increased bed night pressure has been in both Nelson and Wairau. Ironically ED attendances have fallen during the month, largely in Nelson, however this is a seasonal trend and the reductions were very clearly in-patients who were not admitted (triage 4 and 5). Overall ED attendances are 0.2% less than the same year to date as last year. Overall ED numbers are higher in Nelson, while lower in Wairau. All of these are signs of a system (hospitals and primary care) working well. The elective caseweight discharge under-provision has continued to reduce, and we are now 0.52% behind plan, but 2.79% ahead of the same time last year. This caseweight discharge number excludes IDFs for our population accessing services in other DHBs. Outpatient first specialist attendances are 2.6% behind plan, but 2.5% ahead of last year. However, follow up assessments are 3.9% ahead of plan or 5.6% ahead of the same time last year. This is a deliberate change within a number of specialties who have expressed concern about the lengthening of follow up times with the focus on first specialist assessments.

III) MENTAL HEALTH SUMMARY OUTPUT PERFORMANCE
Mental Health inpatient activity has continued at the higher level experienced in March and the length of stay reduction has equally continued. Seclusion hours are considerably lower. Caution needs to be taken over interpreting the community crisis contacts as reporting of these numbers appear to have a lag time.
(a) Activity – Specialist
NB: Seclusion for the month is very low, the lowest since January 2014, there were both less events and shorter durations for these events.
(b) Activity – NGO

V) TOP OF THE SOUTH HEALTH ALLIANCE
Progress on the key priorities in TOSHA are:
Cardiovascular and Diabetes. Work has begun developing the project brief for supporting the clinical specialist diabetes nurses to work in the community across General Practice and Maori Health providers. A workforce development plan is being drafted; engagement with CME coordinators and assessing knowledge and skills frameworks has been undertaken to inform the plan. A gaps analysis of self management programmes has been undertaken with the next steps to determine what needs to be implemented locally. A process for data sharing is being worked on to better understand the local diabetic and those at risk of CVD population. Work is beginning on understanding the requirements locally to implement the new standards for diabetes care
Rural Funding. Implementation of the new funding model is under way. The Allied Health Service Manager is being approached to look at the feasibility of an integrated model of physiotherapy services in Wakefield. This will feed into the wider paper and recommendations on integrated rural services. There is also activity looking at point of care testing in rural areas. Work is continuing looking at PRIME services in Marlborough
Health Pathways. The site was visited by 765 users in April 2015, who viewed an average of 5 pages per visit. The website user survey has closed and is currently being analysed. Consideration is being given to “what next” for pathways development
Primary and Community Nursing. A subgroup has been formed to look at making recommendations on the interface and shape of district nursing, public health nursing and primary care nursing. Work on a joint training calendar has been undertaken by the PHOs.
SECTION 5.5: CEs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 45
An approach has been made to the Director of Nursing to support access to the Lipincott manual in primary care. Work on identifying and regionalising knowledge and skills frameworks has begun
Primary Health Care Targets. The primary care 'better help for smokers to quit' target continues to be achieved. The immunisation target has slipped from a high around target in November 2014 to being around 90% currently with slightly worse performance in the Maori population. Work from the immunisation operational group is working on understanding the reasons for the high decliner rate which is driving the low performance. Discussions have also been had with TPO to strengthen the OIS service which has suffered from staff changes. Progress against the 'more heart and diabetes checks' target is still progressing well, with performance currently at around 88.5%. PHOs are focusing on achieving this target through multiple means and it should be achieved this quarter
Acute Demand Management. Implementation of the COPD Pathway initiative continues and it is expected that both the spriometry and acute exacerbation pilots will be launched in July. The GP Capacity and Engagement survey has been finalised and results from the one to one discussions in Wairau will be compared with existing NBPH quarterly data. Selected patients have been contacted and surveyed by the GP Follow-up Research team. Results from both sets of patient research will be used to inform a patient communications strategy and the scope of the Options for Care initiative, which has agreed its working group membership and is planning to meet in May. The ED Frequent Presenters initiative is now business as usual within Clinical Services.

VII) NON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
We have developed a quarterly table to show our non financial performance summary, of areas that we are accountable through our plan, across the year. This is attached as item 7.2. In essence we are achieving in the majority (12) of areas, partial achievement in 3, however are not meeting the target in Increased Immunisation, and our Inpatient Average Length of Stay has risen over the 3.47 target to 3.57.
VIII) EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PRESENTATIONS
There has been a marked reduction in ED presentations in both Nelson and Wairau in the month of April. Looking at the data this is not an unexpected trend as similar reductions have occurred in the previous year, although the reduction in the previous year in Nelson has been more progressive than a sudden drop off. The reductions on both sites have, however, largely been in triage 4 & 5.

Elective CWDs Per Discharge - Wairau
Medical Elective CWDs Surgical Elective CWDs
The Trendcare bed utilisation data below is not based on the more traditional midnight census, but rather it measures whether the bed has been utilised in any 24 hour period. There was an error in the previous month‟s data for Wairau which has now been corrected. Overall this data indicates relatively stable utilisation, however any utilisation over approximately 85% would indicate that the system will be under pressure during the month. Clearly the data indicates average utilisation across the month and does not reflect the natural peaks and troughs.

Bed Utilisation - Trendcare
Nelson Hospital Utilisation Wairau Hospital Utilisation
Mental Health & Alex Utilisation
The Trendcare hours below show the difference between nursing hours required and nursing hours available. The positive picture below is that the majority of departments are operating within appropriate clinical hours being available. An emerging issue appears to be in HDU and the Day Stay Unit in Wairau. We are following through with these areas to understand the causes. There continues to be significantly higher levels of resources in both paediatrics, post natal and maternity. We continue to work with the professional leaders on this front to try and address wherever possible, however these are impacted by both the small size of these departments and the mixture of nursing and midwifery involved.

(d) Elective Service Performance Indicators ESPI performance remains broadly under control, however there are a couple of hot spots in ESPI 2 with ENT, General Surgery, Orthopaedic and Urology having a small number of patients (9 in total) waiting in excess of 4 months.
SECTION 5.5: CEs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 52
XI) THEATRE CANCELLATIONS
Theatre cancellations fell to 32 during the month of April. This is the lowest number this year, however we continue to focus on reducing further wherever possible. Almost 50% of the cancellations were either due to the patient being too unwell or the patient not turning up.
SECTION 5.5: CEs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 53
XII) OPHTHALMOLOGY
As noted in previous months, Ophthalmology is 22%, or 140 discharges, behind plan on an elective discharge basis. Looking at further information, the following compares 2014/15 activity with plan, and then also looks at last years comparative performance. The budget appears to have been broadly set at similar levels to last year‟s performance, but with the exception of Avastin and Nurse Clinics, the throughput has been less than the same period last year.

Eye - Argon Laser 150 98 52- -34.7%
Ophthalmology Nurse Clinics 1,734 1,828 94 5.4%
The negative position relative to the contract is a somewhat complex issue compounded by:
In 2013/14 we outsourced a number of cataracts with the aim to catch up on the health target and also because we had additional MOH funding for electives
For the 2014/15 plan we increased discharge delivery for the cataract initiative by approximately 60 discharges, however we have struggled to deliver this and so have gone backwards
The split of Nelson / Wairau SMO targets is 2/3rd – 1/3rd for population, however 75% of the resource is Nelson based. There remains interpersonal issues within the Ophthalmology workforce which has seen a reluctance of a single service two site model being embraced
Lists have been under-booked in Nelson due to multiple theatre issues and admin issues including: o Use of Theatre 6 prevents fully booked lists
SECTION 5.5: CEs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 54
o Insufficient instrumentation to fully book lists o Insufficient staffing requiring SMOs having to carry out some activity which should
be undertaken by other staff which slows throughput in theatre o Short notice changes in General Anaesthetic to Local Anaesthetic or vice versa o Lists not fully booked.
Cataract lists being changed to General Anaesthetic lists for ESPI issues, therefore less patients booked
Lists unable to be backfilled by Ophthalmology due to pressure of follow-ups
Avastins need completing, especially when Registrar is away. Therefore lists with Avastins on do not count towards caseweights or Health Target. Avastins are time dependent
When Wairau SMO is away no cataracts are completed as no staff are available for post-op clinics, which leads to an overall drop in delivery.
Actions planned to address some of these issues are to:
Order additional cataract sets
Confirm lists over next three months
Identify space outside of Theatre 6 to allow Ophthalmology work to be carried out
Ensure additional theatre sessions for new Ophthalmologist replacing retiring surgeon
Locum support as able, although constrained by facilities
Confirm booking process with admin team to ensure full utilisation of lists
Ensure theatre team / staffing allocated to ensure efficient theatre running of lists. To address Follow-ups:
Review overdue patients and prioritise appropriately
Locum support as able, although constrained by facilities
Look for 0.2 FTE Optometrist to support clinics
Continue push towards district wide process for more equitable use of resources
Progress CAPEX for room alteration
Explore workforce development resource to support new model of nursing for Avastin delivery, thus freeing up Registrar and SMO resource and maximising theatre time.
XIII) ENHANCED ACCESS TO DIAGNOSTICS
There has been a spike in urgent diagnostic colonoscopies this month, however it should be noted that they are all current referrals. Numbers of patients waiting continue to decline overall.

SECTION 5.5: CEs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 55
Patients waiting for CT, MRI and for CT Colonography (CTC) are continuing to climb. One of the key challenges is shortage of Radiologist resources. We currently have vacancies which we are actively recruiting for, however this market is very challenging. The commissioning of the new MRI in Wairau in early June, along with outsourcing of 90 CTCs in May, should assist in improving these results. The other area of significant concern is Marlborough breast screening where delivery of the service is having to be directed through Nelson due to lack of staffing. We are actively working on recruiting on this front as well.

XV) ORAL HEALTH
Oral health arrears remain a challenge. Concerns have been raised with regards to how the service is operating, and the significant performance difference in terms of arrears across the district. We are working with the team to try and bring about some change which will more effectively utilise resources. The service is currently impacted by a number of vacancies where active recruitment is in progress. The arrears have increased to 18% this month which is extremely concerning.

XVII) FCT ONCOLOGY
The latest results for FCT are noted in the table below. It is becoming obvious that the timing of reporting is materially impacting the results. For example, last month the total number of records reported for March were 4. This has now increased to 10 records. There appears to be an error in the table for quarter 3 results. The report is indicating 87% within the 62 days, however this clearly should be 68%. We were unable to change the table prior to completion of reporting.
SECTION 5.5: CEs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 58
XVIII) ELECTRONIC REFERRALS (ERMS)
There have been 2,752 requests to all providers generated using ERMS in April 2015. This figure includes requests for outpatient assessment, referrals to private providers, and requests for specialist advice and radiology services. The chart below shows ERMS requests as a percentage of all outpatient medical and surgical assessment referrals received by the DHB year to date for 2014/15 and recorded in the Oracare patient administration system. Development work is in planning for using ERMS to deliver referrals to Mental Health Services. Installation remains to be completed in two Nelson practices in May 2015, which will mark the completion of Stage 1 of the electronic referrals project. Planning is underway to align the continued roll-out of electronic referral delivery to hospital services with the migrations to Health Connect South and PICS.

(XIX) MATERNAL CHILD HEALTH INTEGRATION PROJECT
Updates from the Maternal Child Health Integration project follows: a) Core Health Team:
The Health Pathway has been published to support vaccination in pregnancy and engagement in general practice
The Newborn Enrolment Form has been updated, now in duplicate, with improved faxing efficiency
The Newborn Enrolment process being reviewed to make improvements on the current proportion of babies enrolled by four weeks
Successful Wairau GP/LMC meeting supported more open communication pathways between the different professional groups
NBPHO and KHW are working with general practice to encourage women to access a free whooping cough and flu vaccine in late pregnancy at their general practice
Some project funding was utilised to support the development of the vulnerable women and infants care pathway
A presentation for all health professionals interested in being updated on the project is being planned for May in both Nelson and Wairau.
b) Tools for Coordinated Care:
The project team is working with Medtech to ensure the needs of what the project is wanting from coordinated care can be met by the Manage My Health tool. The benefit of this is that the majority of practices do use Medtech and this will make the adoption of this new tool easier for the majority of practices
An LMC, a Client and a GP willing to participate in the trial have been identified, with the aim to begin the trial in May 2015. This will trial using “Manage My Health‟ as a portal to facilitate a coordinated care approach to managing pregnant women.
c) Child Health Calendar:
A joint venture between NMDHB and NMIT to develop a calendar APP is underway with a goal of completion date in June
Planning for a wallet sized care plan is in process as well as a hard copy pamphlet of the calendar.
d) Resource Centres:
Options for how to support the development of „Resource Centres‟ in Wairau are currently being discussed, with good support from LMCs. The Service Manager and DOM met with Beth Tester in Wairau who expressed an interest in responding to a proposal for how this could be achieved for the Wairau communities
Presentation was given by Lakes DHB on how they have established their resource centre.
e) Family Friendly Accreditation:
Standards have been agreed for a trial phase. Motueka is the site for the trial, currently in process.
SECTION 5.5: CEs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 60
f) Targets:
The project team have identified that the milestones and timeframes for the project are one quarter behind. There have been a number of reasons for this, some delay at the start and some key personnel resigning etc. The project team will be raising this with the MOH to seek a three month extension to the initial project plan.

XXI) EXERCISE WAIPUKE
Exercise Waipuke participants descended onto the Braemar campus and into the seminar centre for the DHB‟s annual exercise, which was also partnered up with Civil Defence as the Emergency Services exercise for the Nelson Tasman region on 6 April. Overall there were 81 exercise players and exercise control staff that participated in this event. Participants were from the Ministry of Health, DHB Corporate, Hospitals, Public Health, Support Works, Mental Health, community health centres, DSS, and Facilities staff, along with members from Nelson Bays Primary Health, Police, Fire, Ambulance, Civil Defence, and Nelson and Tasman Councils. The exercise was based on a severe weather event in the Nelson region with a mass casualty incident thrown in for good measure. This scenario was designed to trigger an activation of not only the hospital and DHB incident management response, but also a wider Civil Defence and Emergency services response.
SECTION 5.5: CEs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 61
A primary objective of the exercise was to simulate an event that would require inter agency cooperation and coordination to an event that would impact on the region and get agencies to activate and respond. This was not only achieved, but under the pressure of a second objective to move all of the agencies out of their normal Emergency Operational Centres (EOCs) and into an alternative EOC. This activity had the teams working to not only become operational, but start dealing with the incident under less than normal conditions – a true test of processes and training. This is a major exercise for the DHB which also incorporated the bi annual Emergo training exercise, which is sponsored by the Ministry of Health and is a part of the DHB‟s Operational Policy Framework requirements. Initial reports from the evaluators are that the DHB and agencies were not only able to meet the objectives of the exercise, but also performed exceptionally well. The recent earthquakes and weather events are testament to how important it is for agencies to do these exercises to ensure that we are ready, and can continue to provide essential services following a disaster.
XXII) HUMAN RESOURCES
(a) Performance Appraisals The month of March has seen performance appraisals step up from 1,131 to 1,221 or 49.9%. Each of the ELT members have been given a target of 90% by the end of this calendar year. IT & Infrastructure and Maori Health are now achieving this target, with Human Resources and Disability Support Services achieving in the 80‟s.
SECTION 5.5: CEs REPORT
Iwi Health Board Open Agenda – 4 June 2015 62
(b) Staff Cultural Survey The staff cultural survey has now closed. A total of 1,428 staff participated in the survey. The report has just been received from the Health Round Table and we are now planning the next steps, including how we release the information. A commitment has been given that the results will be shared widely, and we have also indicated that we are interested in working directly with the unions and staff to find sustainable solutions to address the top issues raised. A more substantive report will be provided to the Board meeting in June. (c) Management and Administration FTE Cap

In accordance with the principles of tikanga, Manawhenua will manaaki all whanau, hapu and Iwi residing in Te Tau Ihu o te Waka a Maui. To ensure the IHB has effective relationships with the Maori and wider community, those wanting to be heard by the IHB are, on a pre-arranged basis, to be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard in person. Each open meeting of the IHB will have a 15 minute public forum where members of the public may raise concerns. There will be no media or other statements on IHB matters except via the IHB Chair, Board Chair, Director of Maori Health or Chief Executive. All public comment pertaining to IHB operational matters will be made by the DMH with the Chief Executive’s agreement. The IHB will develop a Communications and Consultation Plan (see Appendix IV).
Support The IHB will be serviced by NMDHB resources. Maori Health Directorate will service the IHB

Communication and Consultation Plan
75 | P a g e
Appendix IV
Purpose The IHB as the Maori partnership board to the NMDHB is the mechanism through which the Nelson Marlborough DHB and the Board consult with Iwi. The purpose of this plan is to describe the consultation method and process. This includes the communication plan.
Definition of consultation
The definition of consultation is drawn from He Kawenata 2010:
“Consultation is a statement of a proposal not yet decided upon, listening to what others have to say. Considering their responses and then deciding what will be done. To consult is not merely to tell or present. Nor at the other extreme is it to agree, consultation does not necessarily involve negotiation towards an agreement, although the latter not uncommonly can follow, as is the tendency in consultation to seek at least consensus.”
Limitation Nelson Marlborough DHB and the Board have many needs at various levels for consultation. This plan is specific to the IHB at a governance level as the consultation point for key strategic decisions by the Board. Consultation at other levels of the organisation (individual units e.g. planning and funding, public health, mental health, child and family services etc) will be determined by the Director Maori Health in partnership with the Chief Executive or their delegate.
Focus of consultation
The focus of IHB consultation is with whanau, hapu, Iwi and Maori communities within Te Tau Ihu o te Waka a Maui.
Relevant documents

Considerations of consultation
Resourcing
Consideration must be given to the resource needs of the consultation request. These could include meeting or travel fees.
Preparation
Before the consultation request is made, consider the priority and relevance to Iwi / Maori community. Consultation and communication will be honest and genuine. Staff should not expect to arrive at a meeting or hui and expect immediate response. Iwi / Maori communities should be given time to absorb information. Many individuals may need to take information back to their Iwi for further consultation or comment.
Time
Adequate time is required to consider issues, particularly issues of major significance that will
NELSON MARLBOROUGH DISTRICT HEALTH BOARD
IWI HEALTH BOARD
Communication and Consultation Plan
76 | P a g e
warrant in-depth analysis and further discussion. The time required for discussion and debate depends on the complexity of the topic and impact of the policy. Preference is for kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face) communication and to hear an explanation of an issue by a person with some knowledge of the topic. This gives the opportunity to consider the wisdom, sincerity and motives of the presenters.
Genuine communication
The communication process must give Iwi and Maori the opportunity for effective input. If Maori are presented with a proposal which has been developed without their input then it is likely to meet with resistance. Feedback on the way in which consultation has been incorporated is necessary.
Effective consultation
The elements of effective consultation include: Sufficient information is provided, so that intelligent and informed advice or decisions can
be made. It should be written or given in language that is easily understandable with summary and or analysis provided;
Sufficient time for participation and consideration of any advice given; Genuine consideration of that advice, including an open mind and a willingness to
change.
Consultation method and process
Requests for consultation will initially be made through the DHM. The DMH will discuss the request with the Chair of the IHB to determine its relevance and priority for the IHB agenda. Other consultation processes may be recommended. The IHB will be consulted on: The Board agenda: Consultation requirements with the IHB on any relevant agenda item/s will be completed
before appearing in the Board agenda; The Board’s agenda will be mailed to IHB members; An IHB meeting will occur shortly after the Board meetings; The Chair will compile feedback from members and represent the IHB at Board meetings
when requested; Formal written feedback may also occur.
Advisory committees, expert and reference groups: The IHB will appoint a representative to the advisory committees of the Nelson
Marlborough DHB; The IHB will appoint representatives to other advisory, expert and reference groups as
appropriate; The representative will be the consultation point for IHB; The representative will formally report to the IHB; Consultation requests and needs will be discussed with the Chair and the DMH.
District strategic plan (DSP): The IHB will be participants with the Nelson Marlborough DHB in setting the Board’s
priorities;

Panui / newsletters; A IHB panui / newsletter will be developed and sent to an e-network of Iwi and Maori
