Under the new framework, regular structured reviews are essential both to achieve improved clinical outcomes and for MBS compliance. This activity will help you assess how consistently reviews are being conducted proactively and make improvements where needed to establish consistent review patterns that are aligned with the new framework.
Record each step below as it’s completed in the CPD type listed next to the step or record this whole quality improvement activity once complete for Measuring outcomes CPD.
Step-by-step:
- Identify patients with active CDM plans – RP CPD
- Record the number of reviews conducted in the past 12 months – RP CPD
- Set a baseline (eg % of plans with at least one review) – RP CPD
- Set a goal (e.g., increase reviews to every 3 months for 50% of patients) – RP CPD
- Track progress monthly using PMS reports or a Cubiko dashboard – MO CPD
- Analyze your data to determine whether any further changes are needed, and document your findings
This activity is expected to take around 3 months to complete and we recommend recording between 5 and 10 hours of MO CPD upon completion.
