General Practice and CDM
what are we trying
• Helping general practice see the need for and take up systems • Ensuring disease registers, recall & reminder systems are easy to use and can be mined for data • Secure exchange of patient information • Development of shared decision support tools • Online test ordering and reporting • Use of electronic referral and discharge summaries
“Damage control is easy. Reading Klingon, that's hard!"
Task One: Practice Nurses and Managers want to know more about disease registers, recall and reminder systems and how to implement them. ? What can you do now to help them? ? What would you like to be able to do to help that you can’t now?
“Damage control is easy. Reading Klingon, that's hard!"
Task Two: What does this all mean for you in your day to day work in Divisions? ?As a group what should we add to the IMIT issues register for GPV to act on, or learn from, or respond too? ?What should GPV and the IMIT network keep a watchful eye on?
