Policy Brief: Organisational leadership

Anticipatory care (AC) connects those at risk of chronic disease with health and wellbeing services and community support networks. The Tasmanian Anticipatory Care Project (ACP) adds to the growing body of evidence that a systems thinking and citizen focused approach to connecting those at risk of chronic disease to health and wellbeing services and community support networks has the potential to reduce the incidence of chronic disease over the medium to long term, and to reduce costs over the longer term by addressing health and wellbeing problems before more expensive health services are required.
