Best Start KMwae
Assessment Tools
In April 2023 Mahitahi Hauora
partnered with The National
Hauora Coalition to offer Best Start
KMwae pregnancy and postnatal
assessment tools to 20 of our
general practices. The aim of the
Best Start KMwae tools is to support
consistent, comprehensive, and
equitable care of pregnant people
and babies.
These tools complement
midwifery services, offer additional
support in the form of clinical
recommendations, built-in
education, links to HealthPathways
and other resources, and include
a one-click e-referral tool. To
support general practices offering
these tools, virtual education
sessions have begun.
Kahu Taurima
Kahu Taurima is the Health New
Zealand | Te Whatu Ora approach
to maternity and early years (the
orst 2,000 days of life) for all
whnau in Aotearoa New Zealand.
In March 2023, Mahitahi Hauora
partnered with Ngti Hine Health
Trust to develop a centralised
local triage and referral system
for hapk mm, supporting and
facilitating a proactive early
referral and intervention. Since
the programme began earlier this
year, 211 pregnant people have
been referred.
The whnau did not have access
to transport so Mahitahi Hauora
arranged for the Outreach
Immunisation Service to visit them
at home. When it was time for the
next immunisations the whnau
chose to get their other tamariki
immunised, bringing their whnau
up to date with the childhood
immunisation schedule.
Childhood and
Pregnancy
Immunisations
Paediatric Respiratory
Clinical Pathway
In April 2023, Mahitahi Hauora
began immunisation work to
pre-call whnau of pp Mori
that were due their 6-week,
3-month, 5-month and 12-month
immunisations and hapk mm
due to the whooping cough
immunisation, offering a $50
Prezzy Card incentive for every
immunisation completed on time.
This work saw a total of 2,676
immunisations given.
Patient success story: Whnau
were contacted to remind them
that their ppi9s immunisations
were due.
Working alongside the hospital9s
Paediatrics teams, Mahitahi
Hauora receives notiocations when
a child who was admitted with a
respiratory order, is discharged
from the hospital and has not met
the criteria for Paediatric Outreach
support. Mahitahi Hauroa9s Clinical
Hub nurses contact whnau to
discuss the hospital discharge
plan, and relevant assessments,
answer questions, and refer to
other relevant services if required.
Since referrals began in August
2023, 475 patients have received
this service.
