Health Assessment template updates
Noel Stewart from North East Valley has sent the following information to divisions: There are new templates that cover the 6 time-based health assessments items: 701 (brief), 703 (standard), 705 (long) and 707 (prolonged).
These are:
1. Over 75 Health assessment at surgery or in the home - annual [Replaces 700, 702]
2. 4 year old health check - once only [Replaces 709]. Also Nurse item number 10986 [Replaces 711]
3. 45-49 health assessment "at risk" of developing a chronic disease - once only [Replaces 717]
4. Health assessment for people with an intellectual disability - annual [Replaces 718, 719]
5. Health assessment for refugees and other humanitarian entrants - once only [Replaces 714]
6. CMA in Residential Aged Care - annual [Replaces 712]
These can be found on the www.nevdgp.org.au website and allow you to place an X in the appropriate box as well as record Nurse and Doctor time (the 75+ HA is a little more complicated with a few more check boxes). The direct link to the NEVDGP templates web page can be found here: http://www.nevdgp.org.au/?content=14#Health%20Assess. Noel suggests that old templates be deleted and the new ones added
