Hawke's Bay District Health Board is the first in New Zealand to deploy the Whanau Tahi Connected Care (WHCC) system to support co-ordinating and commissioning of community services for its over 65 patient population and those with long-term conditions.
Hawke’s Bay DHB’s Need Assessment Services Coordination (NASC) agency commissions community support services each year for thousands of people with disabilities and older people needing age-related support, ranging from household management to personal care and residential care.
