Diabetes cycle of care quality improvement program
This is a whole practice quality improvement (QI) program for GP practices, based on the annual diabetes cycle of care for patients with T2D.
QI Programs
ThinkGP’s range of clinical audits are designed to arm GPs with the tools they need to excel, benchmarking standards of care to the highest level. With pre-learning education, easy-to-follow steps and reflective learning, these quality improvement activities assist GPs to deliver optimal patient outcomes while earning valuable Measuring Outcomes hours. Whether you are newly qualified or have been practicing for years, our clinical audits will keep you up to date with best practice guidelines across a range of therapeutic areas. Each activity includes a reflective learning component to help you to identify and embed learnings.
Clinical audit: Managing the deadly duo of COPD and cardiovascular risk
In this clinical audit, you will identify patients with COPD who have a history of moderate to severe exacerbations in the past 12 months and an increased risk of cardiovascular events. You will consider how your patient’s self-management behaviours, inhaled COPD medications and prescribed non-pharmacological treatments could be further optimised, in line with evidence-based guidelines, to improve symptom control and reduce the risk of further exacerbations.
Clinical audit: Heart health checks and lipid lowering therapies for primary prevention of CVD
In this clinical audit, you will conduct Heart Health Checks for your patients, providing comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessments and developing ongoing management plans involving pharmacological and lifestyle strategies to reduce cardiovascular risk.
Mini-audit: Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI)
In this clinical audit you will conduct a review of patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) who are currently receiving PERT (pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy), in order to assess their quality of life and treatment effectiveness, and optimise their therapy.
Clinical audit: Diabesity - managing obesity and overweight in people with T2D
In this two-part clinical audit, you will review your past management of patients with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity, then utilise your learnings to guide effective glycaemic and weight management of further patients.
Clinical audit: Management of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
Review your management of patients with HFrEF (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction) in this clinical audit, and update their treatment to be in line with latest recommendations including the "four pillars" approach.
Clinical audit: Herpes zoster prevention in older people
This clinical audit will guide GPs through the process of identifying patients for whom herpes zoster (HZ) vaccination is recommended, and outlines the evidence and current Australian recommendations for selecting the most appropriate type of HZ vaccine for each patient.
Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease clinical audit
In this clinical audit, you will conduct an assessment of patients who are at risk of metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), calculate their risk of liver fibrosis using validated tools and decide on further management.
