Area Health

The Mother and Infant Network (MINET) Program was established in South Western Sydney Area Health Service(SWSAHS) in 1997. MINET developed and implemented an integrated clinical data network as a key strategy tosupport and inform a Continuum of Care comprising hospital and community based services. There are good datasources within the MINET program. Its scope spans care for mothers and children, which begins with the firstantenatal attendance and ends at school entry.This paper has three interrelated aims: to describe the development of the MINET program; to demonstrate thebenefits of a sustainable Information Culture which can assist an Area Health Services in adopting a health outcomesbased approach to service delivery; and to describe how MINET has the capacity to support Health Services Research.

Equity Of Access

Few studies have explored the socio-economic profile, service utilisation, obstetric history and pregnancy outcomes of ethnic women who utilise ethno-specific obstetric services in Australia. The purpose of this study was to form a profile of women who accessed the Ethnic Obstetric Liaison Services (EOLO) in South Western Sydney Area Health Service (SWSAHS), New South Wales and explore their beliefs about using maternal and infant health services. We found that the prevalence of risks and special needs varied significantly by language groups in this study sample. Our results suggest that equity of access to quality care for this group of mothers and infants can be assured if models similar to the EOLO in SWSAHS are thoroughly planned and developed, and take account of cultural appropriateness for the population served.

Area Health

People with disabilities comprise 19% of the Australian population. Normalisation, human rights, community-based rehabilitation and mutual obligation policies are consistent. All require broadly conceptualised services which develop the potential and capacities of people with disabilities, to enable their self-determination and social integration. There is commitment to a national platform of standards for health and environment protection. Regionally pooled funding and separate management streams for accommodation and services for the aged would facilitate coordinated and transparent management of all accommodation, health and disability funds. Elected government representatives and universities appear well placed to assist the broad, regionally planned approach to resolving community health problems which area health service managers and others have commenced.
