Adelaide Primary Health Network
Adelaide PHN is a not-for-profit organisation predominately funded by the Commonwealth. We are one of 31 Primary Health Networks (PHNs) established across Australia.
PHNs have been established to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of primary health care services for individuals, particularly those at risk of poor health outcomes.
They also aim to improve coordination of care to ensure people receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
We prepare a comprehensive needs assessment to identify the key population health and service needs of people in our region. We use this information as the basis for our consultation with our Advisory Councils to inform the commissioning of programs and services to deliver better health outcomes.
We commission services to meet population health needs and reduce barriers to access for communities with the highest needs by:
identifying and addressing health service gaps based on careful planning and analysis
providing support services so health care providers are better placed to care for patients
supporting workforce development through training and education
assisting health care services to implement and use digital health systems
working with others to commission health services for priority populations.
