Milestone/Date
Responsibility
1. Demand – capacity modelling to respond to national priorities – begin with a CT pipeline model
Pipeline modelling will enable advance resource preparation for new and increased demand. It will identify regional capacity opportunities to inform decisions on how to most effectively support achievement of National Priorities and changes in service delivery models including: CT Colonography, CT Coronary Angiograms
 Gather CT data on volumes and demand on resources
 Investigate models used by other DHBs i.e. Waikato Hospital and Canterbury DHB models
