The Ministry of Health is seeking a review of the Outreach Immunisation Service (OIS)
The Outreach Immunisation Service (OIS) was implemented in 2003 to address consistent and serious inequities associated with immunisation coverage amongst tamariki Māori and Pacific children. It enabled improved linkages between whānau/families and primary health care services by reducing barriers to access.
The service was designed to assist Primary Health Care Providers, Well Child Providers and Immunisation Coordinators by following up on families who have children that have missed National Immunisation Schedule vaccination events.
In recent years, OIS have been used more frequently to support Government’s Health Target of 95 percent of all 8 month olds fully immunised on time by December 2014 (and maintained until 2017). The eight-month immunisation target is one of the Prime Minister’s result areas in the Government's Better Public Services initiative for Supporting Vulnerable Children.
In 2010, the Services for Children and Young People – Outreach Immunisation Services Tier Level Two Service Specifications were approved as a mandatory nationwide description of services to be provided. These high level service specifications describe the core principles of the OIS, yet also allow providers and DHBs to adapt and develop the contract specifications to fit their local context.
This led to OIS being delivered in a variety of different ways across the DHBs, with varying levels of efficiency. The Ministry needs to determine what services are delivering high-quality health care that results in equitable health outcomes, and look to standardise this approach across all DHBs.
The OIS Tier Level Two Service Specifications are due to be reviewed by December 2015. The review of OIS services and subsequent recommendations will inform the Ministry’s update of the specifications. The outcome of which, will be to ensure that OIS services across DHBs are equitable, high-quality, cost-effective, sustainable and working to the Government’s Better Public Service priority.
