CVD Risk Assessment
This data item is required to support Indigenous Health nKPI Reporting (for calculation of indicator PI21)
http://meteor.aihw.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/663978
The data item is recorded if the practice has done an assessment and requires the risk value calculated and the risk assessment tool used (there are a few tools eg. Absolute CVD Risk Assessment (Framingham), CARPA, Baker, Anderson).

Spirometry_fev1post

dec

Spirometry test - FEV1 (or forced expiratory volume in the first second of a forced exhalation)

Spirometry_fvcpost

dec

Spirometry test – FVC (or forced vital capacity)


Checks

DATA ITEM

TYPE

Description

Eye exam

bool

Eye exam has been done (part of Diabetes SIP should be done every 2 years)

Foot exam

bool

Foot exam has been done (part of Diabetes SIP should be done every 6 months)

Visual check

bool

Visual check has been done

Hearing check

bool

Hearing check has been done

Skin check

bool

Skin check has been done


Screening

DATA ITEM

TYPE

Description

Papsmear

int

Papsmear screening status captures whether screening is required and the last date
1 if the screening was done,
2 if there is positive information to the effect that a screening is not clinically required

HPV_test

int

HPV screening status captures whether screening is required and the last date
1 if the screening was done,
2 if there is positive information to the effect that a screening is not clinically required

Breastscreen

int

Breast screen/Mammogram screening status captures whether screening is required and the last date
1 if the screening was done,
2 if there is positive information to the effect that a screening is not clinically required

Colorectalscreen

int

Colorectal screening status captures whether screening is required and the last date (the last date would be the same as the FOBT test)
1 if the colorectal screen was done,
2 if there is positive information to the effect that a colorectal screen is not clinically required

Fobt

bool

FOBT testing captures whether the test has been done and the last test date. It also should capture the order date. (As the test relies on a patient collecting a sample, this enables CAT to report on tests that have been ordered but no test result has been received).

Chlamydia_test

bool

Chlamydia screening has been done

Hiv_test

bool

HIV screening has been done

Hiv_RHT

 

HIV screening has been done using RHT test
HIV RHT test
This stands for Rapid HIV Test. We added this data item as part of an STI project we did a few years ago. This test is done in the practice and hence did not come into the system through the normal pathology import. The practice was manually entering the results and we needed to be able to capture that testing.
It does not need to be mapped if the practice is not using it.

Gonorrhoea_test

bool

Gonorrhoea screening has been done

Syphilis_test

bool

Syphilis screening has been done


Pathology: LOINC codes provide a standard common terminology for laboratory and clinical observations. https://search.loinc.org/searchLOINC/
A LOINC code should be provided by the path labs with each result they send back, however it is sometimes missing. CAT4 will first look for a LOINC code. If that is not provided it will look for a test name. Unfortunately test names are not standardised so CAT will sometimes use "wildcard" searching of test names (denoted by a %).
