Section A: Policy

7.0 Service Development Program

7.1 Post Acute Care Program
7.2 Hospital in the Home Program
7.3 Continuous Positive Airways Pressure
(CPAP) Pilot Program

The Service Development Program targets new models of care and service development. It encompasses innovative programs such as the Hospital in the Home and the Post Acute Care Programs.
The Program will also provide for growth in non-inpatient areas, such as home oxygen, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and community based care. One such new program is the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) services pilot. A post acute discharge service for aged patients is also being developed jointly with the Aged Care Division.
