In 2002, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by SADI, Divisions of General Practice in SA and the South Australian Department of Human Services (now Health). The MoU was developed to strengthen collaboration and partnership between general practice and the Department of Health and acknowledges the importance of integrated care in delivering a better health care system to South Australians.
The second year Workplan (for 2003-2004) addresses areas of activity under four themes: integrated systems of care, population health, medical workforce and policy and strategy development. The duration of the Workplan has now been extended to June 2005, to enable the revised MoU and new Workplan to be developed and implemented from 1 July 2005. It is planned that the new MoU will include the regional Boards, thus adding a further 10 signatories.
The MoU is a positive step towards developing a much closer working relationship between all parties and ensures that this is founded on clear, agreed principles and shared aims and objectives. In addition, the MoU ensures that there is a commitment to involve general practice in the decision-making processes of the Department. The Workplan provides a focus and the means of monitoring progress towards these aims and objectives.
