Responsibility
1. Wellness and disease prevention
NZ Health Strategy strategic themes alignment: Close to home, value and high performance, one team, smart system
CHAG will focus on activities that have a wellness and disease prevention focus for children in the Midland region. This focus will also include decreasing the acute and chronic burden of disease for tamariki Māori, children living in poverty and other populations suffering a disproportionate burden of disease. For 2016/2017 this will include childhood obesity and oral health. We will:
Develop a concise regional framework to address childhood obesity and oral health including key service components for prevention, screening/surveillance, and treatment. (This will include regional agreement on key issues affecting childhood obesity and approaches to decrease childhood obesity).
Develop a dashboard of outputs and outcomes for monitoring childhood obesity rates and oral health status (including clear discussion of the met and unmet opportunistic care needs) utilising the results based accountability framework of; how much did we do, how well did we do, is anyone better off? This will also include regional development of standardised tools and processes for local implementation to meet the ministerial B4 school check target and standardised oral health reporting specifically by equity.
Support the Midland Maternity Action Group to help improve ideal maternal weight and pregnancy weight gain, increased breastfeeding rates and decreased smoking rates during pregnancy.
Develop a regional resource of useful tools, models of care, outstanding initiatives and links to relevant information for clinicians and the wider workforce to utilise.
Develop an advocacy strategy and action plan to assist local health and government leadership to decrease sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption in children (submissions, activities, actions regarding prevention of SSB consumption, obesogenic environment, equity).
Rationale (why does this matter?):
NZ has one of the highest rates of childhood obesity in the OECD – it is well known that obesity is a contributor to a range of chronic conditions including, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases etc and a major contributor to obesity and tooth decay is the high consumption of sugar sweetened beverages.
Outputs (what you will see at June 2017):
A concise regional strategy to tackle childhood obesity and oral health including key service components for prevention, screening/surveillance, and treatment.
A dashboard of outputs and outcomes related to oral health and obesity across the spectrum of care (prevention, diagnosis, management, secondary prevention, maintenance) linked with current activities utilising the results based accountability framework of; how much did we do, how well did we do, is anyone better off? Also regional development of standardised tools and processes, for local implementation to meet the ministerial B4 school target. A standardised oral health report by equity.
A regional resource toolbox (including web based) with best practice resources and information available to clinicians and others working in the childhood obesity and oral health space.
An advocacy strategy and action plan to decrease SSB consumption in the region by children.
