A subsample study of more than 31,000 patients suggests prevalence of measured risk factors in the attending adult (18 years and over) patient population were: obese - 27 per cent; overweight - 35 per cent; daily smoking - 15 per cent; at-risk alcohol consumption - 25 per cent. One in five people in the attending population had at least two of these risk factors. A companion publication, A Decade of Australian General Practice Activity 2001-02 to 2010-11 is also available.

Book Synopsis Primary Health Care and Complementary and Integrative Medicine by : Jon Adams
Download or read book Primary Health Care and Complementary and Integrative Medicine written by Jon Adams and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013-06-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) has become big business. Alongside the increased consumption of complementary medicine and the swelling numbers of complementary health practitioners has emerged a growing interest in these medicines and therapies from within the ranks of conventional primary health care. At the level of practice and beyond, a culture of confrontation and antagonism has begun to be replaced by a focus upon potential integration, collaboration and common ground. With these significant developments in mind, this ground-breaking book is a valuable and timely addition to the CIM and primary health care research literature. The collection outlines the core issues, challenges and opportunities facing the CIM–primary health care interface and its study and will provide insight and inspiration for those practising, studying and researching the contemporary relations between CIM and primary health care. The book is the first to be authored by leading international CIM–primary health care researchers from diverse disciplines and backgrounds, including health social science, statistics, qualitative methodology, general practice, clinical trials design, clinical pharmacology, health services research and public health. All contributors are active CIM–primary health care researchers and their extensive research and practice experience helps lend a unique immediacy and richness to the contributions and collection.

Book Synopsis Evaluation of imaging ordering by general practitioners in Australia, 2002-03 to 2011-12 by : Britt Helena
Download or read book Evaluation of imaging ordering by general practitioners in Australia, 2002-03 to 2011-12 written by Britt Helena and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports changes in GP ordering of imaging tests in Australia from 2002-03 to 2011-12, and evaluates alignment between guidelines and recent GP test ordering for selected problems. Over the decade, 9,802 GPs participated in BEACH, providing details of 980,200 GP-patient encounters. The likelihood of GPs ordering imaging in the management of a problem increased over time. In recent practice, at least one imaging test was ordered at 9% of encounters, at a rate of 10 imaging tests per 100 encounters. Diagnostic radiology was the most commonly ordered type of imaging test, but the order rate decreased over time, with a shift toward orders for ultrasound, CT and MRI, which all significantly increased. Eight selected problems accounted for one-third of all imaging orders. Imaging ordering behaviour suggests broad compliance with published guidelines in the management of osteoarthritis, shoulder problems, bursitis/tendonitis/synovitis, abdominal pain and other musculoskeletal injuries. Current ordering patterns for knee problems and some sprains/strains have potential for improvement. The ordering pattern for new presentations of back problems was inconsistent with all established guidelines for management of back problems.

Download or read book BEACH written by Helena Britt and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reports the imaging ordered by general practitioners in Australia, as represented by a random sample of 1,047 GPs participating in the BEACH (Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health) program over a one-year period in 1999-00. Information about more than 100,000 GP-patient encounters was available for analysis. The report provides new insight into the relationship between GP characteristics, their ordering behaviour, the patients and the problems under investigation. It demonstrates that while in the majority GPs ordering follows the available guidelines, improvement in GP test selection and in the guidelines themselves would be desirable in some areas.
