Health Partners
Healthy professionals, practices, communities and partnerships are vital to creating a primary care system that can provide excellent care and good experiences for patients.
Pegasus Health is at the heart of it all, providing support, resources, innovation, services, professional development and, importantly, the thinking to help support the various components from a uniquely General Practice led perspective.
Increasingly, our role echoes that of our practices, acting as a connector that brings together all of the disparate parts of the primary care system into a functional whole.
We are partnering with other health organisations who are of a similar mind – those looking for better, more sustainable ways of delivering quality care.
Locally, the Canterbury District Health Board, Nurse Maude and St John are three of our key partners in clinical delivery and future planning.
To make sure our practices are equipped for the fast pace of the future, we partner with information technology providers, including Orion Health and Vensa Health.
We’re also pleased to provide a base for the Canterbury Community Pharmacy Group as practices and pharmacies come closer together, for the benefit of patients and the system.
Nationally we are collaborating with other PHOs, drawing on each other’s knowledge, expertise and relationships to ensure we continue to develop a well-integrated national primary care system. And further on the national front, this year we have secured the national telehealth service contract through Homecare Medical Ltd, our joint venture with Auckland based PHO ProCare.
