Recipe Name:	Identify at risk patients who have a chronic condition and are eligible for both a Heart Health Check and a GP Chronic Disease Management Plan.
Rationale:	Various chronic conditions are often linked with increased risk of heart disease¹. It is therefore important to conduct absolute CVD risk assessments (Heart Health Checks) for patients with chronic diseases. This recipe will identify patients who are eligible for both a Heart Health Check and a GP chronic disease management plan. _{1. National Vascular Disease Prevention Alliance. Guidelines for the management of absolute cardiovascular disease risk. 2012.}
Target:	Patients aged 30 and over with no diagnosis of CVD and any of the following conditions: Diabetes Respiratory conditions Chronic renal failure Musculoskeletal diseases Cancer Target patients must also not have claimed a Heart Health Check, GP chronic disease management plan, or any other health assessment in the previous 12 months.
CAT Starting Point:	CAT Open - CAT4 view (all reports) loaded Population Extract Loaded and Extract Pane “Hidden” Filter Pane open and under the ‘General’ tab ‘Active Patients’ (3x <2 years) selected (this step can be omitted if you want to search for all patients).

CAT4 Starting Point

Filter Steps

On the General tab enter age criteria (start age 30) and active status:

CAT Recipes > Identify at risk patients who are eligible for a Heart Health Check and a GPMP > start_age_30_active.png

On the Conditions tab select the 'No' for existing CVD:

CAT Recipes > Identify patients eligible for the Heart Health Check who are low, moderate, and high risk of CVD > no_CVD_newUI.jpg

On the MBS Attendance tab, exclude all patients with health assessments, GPMPs or heart health checks claimed in the past 12 months. Make sure you exclude all items for a GPMP to this filter. Currently the relevant items are: 721, 229, 92024, 92068, 92055, 92099. You will only see items that have been claimed in your practice, so if you don't see the item 177 it might be because it has never been claimed at your practice.
