HEALTH professionals will be better equipped to proactively identify people at risk of diabetes and plan preventative treatment with the help of a new QI program to be launched next week.
The new Diabetes Quality Improvement Program sits within Practice Cloud, a program from leading health informatics company, PenCS.
Features of the new program include helping newly diagnosed sufferers of diabetes to plan and manage their condition and for GPs to improve their prescription use of medicines and work more closely with a patient's local pharmacy.
"Practice Cloud will enable better reviews of potential conflicts in medication prescribing," said Simple Healthcare Solutions Founding Director, Mitch Fox, who is conducting Practice Cloud training along with PenCS.
"It will improve pharmacy intervention based on comorbidities and complexities, enabling scheduled QI checks - someone flagged as having a medication review.
"This tool offers population health informatics to guide different stakeholders including pharmacies.
"It is enabling GPs to work closer with their local community pharmacies," Fox added.
The National Diabetes Week 2024 awareness campaign runs from Sun 14 Jul through to Sun 21 Jul. ML
