This work was funded by Counties-Manukau Health.We looked at how contextual factors affect the testing and implementation of the new long-term conditions model in the Southern District of New Zealand. Our findings helped the WellSouth Primary Health Organisation better understand how to roll out the new model across the District. This was funded by the Healthcare Otago Charitable Trust.We interviewed experts in quality improvement about the contextual factors contributing to the sustainability of healthcare quality improvement initiatives, and found patients and families are an important part of this.

Measurement has been a focus: with the Canterbury Community Pharmacy Group on an outcomes framework for community pharmacy services in the Canterbury District and on an independent evaluation of Counties-Manukau's Quality Improvement initiatives, particularly looking at system level measures, and gold standards and international comparisons for these measures (Doolan-Noble, F; Barson, S; Cullinane, F; Gray, J; Lyndon, M; Stokes, T; Gauld, R.
