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:
