NEW MBS ITEMS incl. the 45yr + health check & new mental health nos
This seminar will clarify the newest item numbers and demystify the process for completion of the 45 to 49 health check & mental health items. This health check can significantly benefit patients’ health outcomes & the financial health of your practice. The check is designed to determine those risk factors present in your patients, encompassing family history, lifestyle & biomechanical factors which may lead to the development of chronic disease. The seminar will allow the participant to structure an approach & a template that will cover the required areas efficiently and effectively, significantly reducing the amount of non-clinical time required. Upon completion, participants will be able to add these vital & profitable screening processes to their daily surgery repertoire. Dr John Litt IPN S11A
MIGRAINE UPDATE - toward better migraine Mx - why GPs don’t like treating migraine
Most clinicians, primary care physicians and neurologists a like, come to regard the exercise of migraine management as a difficult and thankless chore. There are several reasons for this of which some of the most important are the indefinite nature of the aims of therapy and the unclear measures of success or failure of specific attempts at disease modification. The aims of this lecture are: to clearly define the aims of therapy; to discuess the various modalities avaliable & their position in the pecking order of therapy; to describe the confounding factors which, if unrecognised, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory; and to demonstrate how to apply science to the evaluation of therapy when N=1. An interactive session with illustrative cases. GlaxoSmithKline WG
PRACTICE MANAGEMENT
1. Embracing future opportunities
The workshop will explore ways in which practices can adapt their operations to meet the needs in the constantly changing health care environment. The division of work between the various practice staff will be analysed so as to enable practices to effectively provide competitive quality services in the years ahead. Sessions 2,7
2. Staffing – creating a remarkable team
The processes that enable the development of a remarkable practice team will be explored. Practices must have an effective plan to analyse the tasks required, recruit & train the best people and manage their performance. A carefully nurtured culture of personal growth and development will enable practice members to deliver their best. Sessions 3,13
3. Marketing to your market
This workshop will explore what patients really want. How well do we sell our services? What products can we develop? Can we set up a Cycle of Quality Care for patients, utilising the new EPC items? Practices must have a system to ensure they provide appropriate care that always remains current in the changing marketplace. Sessions 4,9
4. Practice systems – growth & development
This workshop will look at ways to set up systems in your practice to ensure it remains a vibrant, growing and developing organization. Practices must change constantly to keep up with the ever–changing marketplace. Techniques will be explored that can assist you to manage this work without distraction from your clinical commitments. Dr Tony Andrew & Di Adamson Sessions 8,11 GPA Accreditation plus WL MEDICO–LEGAL
1. The expert witness
All practitioners are medical ‘experts’ in the eyes of the law. This session covers the role and responsibilities of the medical expert, whether the practitioner is giving an opinion as a treating practitioner or as an independent expert. Some of the questions to be covered are as follows: What makes a good medico–legal report? What is a subpoena and how should I respond? What are the court procedures and etiquette? What expenses am I entitled to? What is the role of an expert witness? Sessions 2,6,13
2. E–Medicine
Information Technology (IT) has the potential to enhance both the quality and the safety of health care. In Australia, IT has become the cornerstone of government strategies to reduce the incidence of medical error. However, embracing IT is complex, costly and challenges many fundamental paradigms of healthcare delivery. It has risks as well as benefits. This session examines the medico–legal risks IT may bring, and strategies to minimise those risks. Sessions 3,7,12
3. Medication management
This session investigates the factors contributing to medication error and explores preventable actions to reduce the likelihood of error. It will cover specific medico–legal areas of concern, such as prescribing unlicensed drugs, prescribing drugs of dependency and the implications of shared care. Participants will develop an understanding of the common pitfalls in prescribing systems and ways in which they can identify and manage these within their own areas of practice. Sessions 4,8
4. Emerging risk
The medico–legal climate changes for GPs every year and to minimise exposure to risk, doctors need to be aware of what is happening in the health industry to cause patients to make claims against them. New risks start to emerge as technology and practices change and this session will consider some of these emerging trends. Sessions 10,14 Avant
