Collection and usage attributes

Some models of care are targeted at specific groups of women with similar characteristics. These might be based on geographical area, risk status, obstetric or medical condition or social/cultural characteristic. Having a target group does not necessarily mean that the model of care is restricted to only those women (although the model is specifically targeted at them) and other women may also access the model of care. For example, a model of care that is targeted specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women may also provide care for non-Indigenous women living in the same remote area, however they make up a small proportion of the women cared for in the model.
