Risk Factors Filter
The risk factors filter enables practices to search for patients with risk factors that relate to specific immunisations. It allows the practice to search for the categories that are provided in the Immunisation Coverage Reports.
The Risk Filter provides:
- Substance Abuse factors
- Conditions increasing the risk of pneumococcal[1] - please see appendix

- Obesity (BMI >=30)
Note that the diagnoses categories on the reports are already provided under the Conditions Filters:
- Diabetes
- COPD
- Asthma
- CVD
[1] The conditions associated with an increased risk of invasive pneumococcal are provided in The Australian Immunisation Handbook 10th Edition 2013. Note that not all conditions listed are able to be extracted from the GP Clinical Systems.
