Chronic airways disease remains one of the leading causes of potentially preventable hospitalisations across our region. LinkMyCare is part of Collaborative Commissioning, a NSW Health initiative which is working to support patients in managing their condition, and to shift care from hospital settings into the community.
Participating practices will have enhanced collaboration with LHD services when patients are discharged after hospital admissions to ensure continuity of care.
