Wingecarribee Health Service model for transitional care.
The Wingecarribee Health Service (WHS) has developed a program of ambulatory care different from the commonly accepted models. The program provides a "whole service" approach to care, with integration of hospital, allied health and community services in partnership with other key stakeholders such as general practitioners (GPs) and non-government organisations (NGOs). It departs from the medical model and embraces the health service's commitment to a wellness approach to care. The program is focused on providing the most appropriate care, in the most appropriate location by the most appropriate provider.
