Q: For those unfamiliar with Eastern Health, tell us a bit about the organization and the role of ICT and AI within it.

614 - Improving Access and Outcomes Across New Zealand: Tend’s Integrated Digital-First Care Model
Q: What role does data play in improving clinician practice and quality control?
A single longitudinal record across the network enables benchmarking, dashboards, and reflective practice; clinicians can compare prescribing and outcomes to peers, with governance to support improvements without shaming.
614 - Improving Access and Outcomes Across New Zealand: Tend’s Integrated Digital-First Care Model
Q: How do you ensure the right patients get directed to the right service in Online Now versus bricks-and-mortar?
There are established pathways and data-driven checks that guide patients toward appropriate channels; the team uses patient input, historical outcomes, and a control process to minimize mis-routing while preserving access.
614 - Improving Access and Outcomes Across New Zealand: Tend’s Integrated Digital-First Care Model
Q: Tell me about the pricing structure that you use.
Pricing varies slightly by clinic due to acquisitions, but enrolled patients pay similar co-pays across online and in-clinic services, with free care for under-14s; casual patients pay higher rates since they aren't enrolled.”
