An Introduction to Hauraki PHO (HPHO)Hauraki Primary Health Organisation (HPHO) was formed on the 1st July 2003, in response to the government’s call for the establishment of community based primary health organisations. The function of the 88 PHOs was to plan, fund and ensure the provision of quality primary care services to meet the needs of the populations which enrolled with the PHOs through their General Practice networks.
HPHO was established as a Kaupapa Māori PHO with a population of just 7,000 people enrolled through Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki and Whitianga Doctors Surgery. Today, as one of the 30 remaining PHOs (five Kaupapa Māori PHOs), HPHO has a population of approximately 64,000 people enrolled through a network of five General Practices operating from 19 clinics.
Much of HPHO’s success has come from the stability of governance vision as a kaupapa Māori, Treaty based partnership that is underpinned by Hauraki tikanga and kawa. HPHO and its General Practices support a whānau ora or holistic approach to health and wellness supported by high quality accessible primary care services. In 2019 the Board endorsed HPHO’s name change to Hauraki Primary Health Organisation – Te Puna Hauora o Matua ki Hauraki. The governance is made up of Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki (two), Hauraki Māori Trust Board, General Practices (three) and from the greater Hauraki region (seven in total). The governance representation has a mix of skills to include tikanga, finance, community and clinical. HPHO is committed to openness and transparency which is unmatched by any other health organisation in Aotearoa.

QualityProviding high quality primary health care is a core objective for all general practices but can be challenging to measure. One of the markers used is the achievement of the RNZCGP Cornerstone accreditation which provides a framework for quality assurance and quality improvement standards encouraging practices to deliver the best possible care to patients. The other marker we use is the achievement of Ministry of Health targets and System Level Measures (SLM) which are focused on population health goals and health equity.
The SLMs focuses on the whole health system with all health stakeholders being part of its achievement to include wider aspects of health and socio-economic priorities. Just as we need accurate and consistent recording of demographic data and clinical information to provide basic reporting, we need to keep a focus on clinical and social targets to support the achievement of the SLM goals. To support General Practices in target achievement, Hauraki PHO provides a suite of electronic support tools and has nominated champions for each of the health target areas who work closely with the General Practice champions to provide advice, resources and support. |
