Tam Shepherd outlines a vision for diabetes (#54)
Diabetes cannot be solved with a bits and pieces approach
to service delivery relying on consumers to glue the bits together. The
experience of many consumers however is a highly fragmented system that is
impossible to navigate.
Greater Metro South Brisbane Medicare Local are building
an integrated service that offers service packages to consumers across the
prevention, early intervention, basic and complex case and management services.
Partnering with local councils, primary and secondary care providers and social
services this is a comprehensive one stop shop to support the fight against
diabetes in the greater south Brisbane area.
