(P1) % Clients reported living healthier lifestyles since working with Otara Health (programmes)
89.5%HY1 2018
The organisation delivers two specific health and well-being programmes funded by Counties Manukau Health. These two programmes involve an element of case management over a 12 month period for each child participating. Improvement measures are captured over this period and so allows reporting and surveying of the client base for the life of the engagement. The AWHI programme is another case management programme aimed at improving the housing quality for those referred for health reasons. One contractual outcome requires reporting of the health improvement outcomes experienced post intervention. This information is also included in this measure.
The latest story behind the curve note the sample size is larger second time around, and more clients reporting as the client base increases.
