Aboriginal people living in NSW continue to experience greater health risks, poorer health and shorter life expectancies than non-Aboriginal Australians. The NSW Health-funded program, Chronic Care for Aboriginal People, was established from existing initiatives to rethink the way chronic care services were delivered to Aboriginal people in NSW. Refocusing and building on existing projects led to NSW Health providing an evidence base of what was working in Aboriginal communities. A model of care for Aboriginal people with chronic disease has been developed. Recommendations from two evaluations have allowed further improvement for the delivery of chronic care services for Aboriginal people. The Local Health District Service Agreements include relevant indicators and strategic priorities relating to the chronic care program.
与非原住民澳大利亚人相比，生活在新南威尔士州的原住民仍然面临更大的健康风险、健康状况更差且预期寿命更短。新南威尔士州卫生部门资助的“原住民慢性病护理”项目，是在现有举措的基础上设立的，旨在重新思考向新南威尔士州原住民提供慢性病护理服务的方式。在现有项目的基础上进行重新定位和拓展，使得新南威尔士州卫生部门能够提供关于在原住民社区中有效做法的证据基础。现已制定了针对患有慢性病的原住民的护理模式。两项评估的建议使得为原住民提供的慢性病护理服务得以进一步改进。地方卫生区服务协议包括与慢性病护理项目相关的指标和战略重点。
