Abstract:
The Hauora Māori Equity Toolkit for Specialist Healthcare Services (HMET-SHS) is an innovative tool designed to support equitable service delivery within specialist healthcare services. A multidisciplinary team reviewed the health system structure and developed the HMET-SHS in the form of a Periodic Service Review (PSR) for measuring and monitoring Hauora Māori outcomes in specialist health services. The HMET-SHS promises to reshape specialist healthcare services and champion equitable healthcare improvements for all New Zealanders.
