Future Planning - Streaming & Designated Clinics
+
Level 1: Business as Usual
AVERAGE-BUSY SEASON
- Patients (green) and ILI patients (red) attend
at their usual general practice.
- Recommend screening patients to green and
red streams if experiencing higher levels of ILI.
Level 2: Sector-based Response
EXCEPTIONALLY BUSY SEASON
- A practice/premise is established as a Designated
Clinic in a small geographic area.
- The Designated Clinic manages its own green and
red stream patients and red stream patients from
- ther practices.
Level 3: Centralised Response
PANDEMIC
- A Designated Clinic(s) is established for all red
stream patients from a larger geographic area, e.g. urban Christchurch.
- Green stream patients continue to attend their
usual general practice.
+
Response Options
Decentralised Centralised
+
The aim is to manage the response so we:
Go no further to the right than we have to, for no longer than we have to, with no more practices than we have to

Canterbury Primary Response Group Partners.........
Community & Public Health: Intelligence
- January-May Pre-activation
– Monitor Northern Hemisphere influenza trends – Anticipate how this might translate to Canterbury winter – Maintain effective working relationships with ESR to support ILI data collection from sentinel practices – Monitor for other global infections risks and reporting accordingly
- June-October Activation
– Prepare weekly Respiratory Illness and virology status reports – Present trends at Influenza Group meetings with commentary – Track impact on Canterbury health system Immunisation Service Level Alliance: Immunisation
- January-May Pre-activation
– Advise on national immunisation strategy – Advise approved funding arrangements for upcoming flu season – Confirm arrival dates of this year’s flu vaccines – Deliver communications package to health providers
- June-October Activation
– Report on immunisation uptake (patients and staff) – Advise any changes to the funded season
Canterbury Primary Response Group: Primary Care
January-May Pre-activation
- Liaise with general practice and community pharmacy
- Develop contingency plans for range of community-based response options (the Influenza
Toolkit)
- Prepare general practice, community pharmacy, community nursing and aged care facilities:
- Correct signage and PPE practices, pharmacies and aged care facilities
- Regular updates to reinforce workforce and practice responses
June-October Activation Continue regular updates Contribute to Key Messages in Respiratory Illness reports Track influenza impact on Canterbury Health System
Measles 2019
Measles 2019
- Notifications to Community and Public Health of measles cases from
February 16th.
- Contact tracing an isolation orders through Community and Public
Health.
- Recognition that the spread was:
– Beyond the capacity for contract tracing alone. – Involving age groups felt to be reasonably covered with past vaccination (esp 29-50yrs ages).
- CPRG called to coordinate a mass vaccination programme that would
have involved about 125,000 potential individuals.
- NZ MMR supplies limited and message was changed to vaccinating the
most vulnerable in a prioritized vaccination approach with 30,000 available vaccine doses.
