INS is now a Coordinated Veterans' Care (CVC) Provider
Tuesday, 19 July 2011
The Department of Veterans' Affairs has invited INS Health Care to participate in the Coordinated Veterans' Care (CVC) Program , which commenced on 1 May 2011. The CVC program intends to reduce preventable hospital admissions and readmissions through better community based coordination of care.
The Program is for eligible veterans, war-widows/widowers and dependents who are gold card holders with chronic conditions, complex care needs, and who are at risk of hospitalisation. The Program commenced on 1 May 2011.
Through improved community based care, the program is intended to improve the health of participants by:
- coordinating care in conjunction with their GP
- coordinating appointments and feedback with other health professionals involved in the care of the veteran or war widow/er.
- undertaking home visits and assessments
- providing appointment reminders
- assisting with medication and treatments
- educating and empowering participants to self manage their conditions
- encouraging the most socially isolated to participate in community activities
