Abstract: A rapidly changing environment sees Neami National venturing into more diverse and clinical service provision. Subacute, residential, CCUs and PHN commissioned services require a strong clinical governance framework. Neami is building a strategic quality management system, co-designed with consumers, carers and staff, to deliver on a Great Consumer Experience (GCE). National consultations occurred with stakeholder groups from October 2016 to February 2017.
Consultations identified what a great consumer experience at Neami should look like and the qualities and skills of staff required to deliver on these experiences. Metrics will measure our achievement against these operationalised definitions of CGE, and organisational structures and processes will be redesigned to align with a great consumer experience.
Preliminary analysis of consultation data in each stakeholder group highlighted the importance of relationships with key workers, and interestingly the use of technology of technology was not mentioned.
This presentation will describe our process to date, and forecast intended organisational changes. Using these ideas to deliver a great consumer experience through the NDIS will also be discussed.
