Collaborative Palliative Care Recipes with Murrumbidgee PHN |
Predicting patient deaths improves access to palliative care and outcomes for patients in primary care, but due to time constraints, clinical judgement of the practitioner remains the core method for identification.
To overcome this limitation, Pen CS and Murrumbidgee PHN have worked collaboratively to improve GP capacity to identify patterns and characteristics within their patient datasets, using an intelligent filtering approach.
Four recipes have been developed to assist general practitioners to identify patients who may benefit from a palliative care approach.
