Pillars

Three dimensions of healthcare transformation

Three pillars exist because the causes of poor outcomes sit in three different places. Clinical care cannot improve sustainably without strong systems, and strong systems cannot perform without an equipped, supported, accountable workforce.

The framework architecture

Pillar 01

Care

Pillar 02

Systems

Pillar 03

People

One national outcome

Safer Care. Stronger Systems. A Supported Workforce.

A supported workforce makes reliable systems possible. Reliable systems make consistent clinical care possible. Treated separately, each pillar stalls.
