1. Helping You, Helping Me (HYHM)
Key contacts/proposers: Kathryn de Luc, GM, Franklin Locality
The idea
HYHM is about opening up information access so people can make an informed choice of what self-management options exist ,and where, and how to get engaged.
The idea, simply, is systematising access based around web-based sources rather than relying on ad-hoc networks
Who benefits and why All of the Franklin population that needs access to information about available health & social care resources, including activities and support groups/networks.
A population better informed about the resources available locally will result in an increased uptake of self-management programmes, self-directed care, and an improvement in population health
Self-Management Support fit
“Evidence suggests that providing information in writing or electronically can improve people’s knowledge about their condition and care.”
Helping People Help Themselves, De Silva, 2011, Health Foundation
HYHM brings the information to the person and increases choice
