ACC Update
Presentation Abstract
Over the last 50 years, the health and rehabilitation sector in New Zealand has experienced many changes and challenges. What has stayed consistent is the vital role physiotherapy plays in ACC’s kiritaki (clients’) recovery journeys.
Today, ACC continue to face challenges around sustainability of the Accident Compensation Scheme, including declining rehabilitation performance and workforce availability. With these challenges in mind, ACC is focused on understanding what they need to do to ensure the Scheme’s future is sustainable for generations to come and that all kiritaki receive the treatment and support they need to recover.
In this presentation, ACC’s Chief Executive Megan Main will explore:
- An overview of the ACC system in context and our current operating landscape.
- Changes ACC are making to the way we commission services and our shift towards commissioning models that place kiritaki at the centre of their recovery through a focus on value-based healthcare.
- Integrating injury prevention into everything we do
- Our strategic priorities for the next 3 years and the opportunities to work together
