The Ideal Clinic initiative is one of the various strategies designed to respond to the current deficiencies in the quality of PHC services and lay a strong foundation for the successful implementation of National Health Insurance.Described as a clinic with good infrastructure (i.e. physical condition and spaces, essential equipment, and information and communication tools), adequate staff, adequate medicine and supplies, good administrative processes and adequate bulk supplies that use applicable clinical policies, protocols, guidelines as well as partner and stakeholder support, to ensure the provision of quality health services to the community, the Ideal Clinic will lay the foundation for the successful implementation of National Health Insurance and provide a community-based, comprehensive range of integrated diagnostic, curative, preventive, promotive, rehabilitative and palliative services.The process is designed to allow the South African health system to gain the required knowledge, test responses, and outline the necessary modifications to existing systems and processes to arrive at and maintain the desired clinic status. The success of this programme depends on implementing the scale-up plan, securing the required resources, continued innovation and sustaining leadership.This chapter reports on developments in the Ideal Clinic Realisation process since June 2013, in particular the deliberations and developments arising out the Operation Phakisa Ideal Clinic Realisation and Maintenance (ICRM) Laboratory which took place late in 2014. The authors also provide an overview of the Ideal Clinic dashboard, report on efforts to create synergies and enabling environments for implementation and share some of the lessons learnt during the early stages of implementation.
