West Gippsland Healthcare Group operates from a number of sites in the Shire of Baw Baw to provide acute medical and surgical, obstetric, emergency, community and aged care services.
The healthcare group receives government funding from the Department of Health. This is determined by the National Weighted Activity Unit (NWAU) - part of the National Funding Model for health services for acute admitted care, subacute care, emergency care and non-admitted care activity.

West Gippsland Healthcare Group (WGHG) had a digital transformation plan in place to improve the way that reliable data was delivered to, and understood by, their executive and management teams - however, lacked the necessary internal resourcing to execute and deliver this goal.
Bolstering WGHG’s data driven approach would improve the way that they could understand, and act upon, variables such as disruptions to frontline services, patient volume and workforce resourcing.
