Quality Improvement Focus Area: Proportion of patients with diabetes with a blood pressure result
As part of our commitment to use population health data to drive our work across the region, we will use the QIMs as a guide to develop focused QI activities and training for general practices within WVPHN.
Western Victoria PHN are supporting general practices across the region to improve their recording of blood pressure results for patients with diabetes in their practice software with the aim to be in line with or above national average.
As part of this drive for improvement, the practice facilitation team will support your practice with the tools and resources to undertake this QI activity to be leaders of a region wide approach to managing chronic disease prevention.

QIM 3 – Weight Classification Guide
The Practice Incentive Program Quality Improvement (PIP QI) is collecting data from 95% of the eligible practices across Australia and focuses on 10 Quality Improvement Measures (QIMs).
Approximately 80 – 85% of eligible practices within WVPHN are participating in PIPQI. The PIPQI QIMs are directly connected to the health outcomes of those living in our region.
| Description | Measuring the proportion of patients who have either type 1 or type 2 diabetes and who have had an HbA1c measurement result recorded in the 12 months before the census date |
| Purpose for collection | This informs the management of diabetes and the impact of effective management on progression of the disease, and reduce the need for high cost interventions. |

| Description | Proportion of regular clients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who were immunised against influenza in the previous 15 months. |
| Purpose for collection | Diabetes was the underlying cause of around 10% of all deaths in Australia in 2016. People with diabetes are considered to be at high risk of complications from influenza. During recent influenza epidemics, diabetes was considered a significant risk factor for hospitalization. The administration of influenza vaccine to persons at risk of complications is the single most important measure in preventing or attenuating influenza infection and preventing mortality. |

| Description | The proportion of regular clients who are aged 15 years and over, who are recorded as having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and who were immunised against influenza in the previous 15 months. |
| Purpose for collection | People with COPD are considered to be at high risk of complications from influenza. Data from several studies also provide evidence that influenza vaccination has a clinically important protective effect on influenza-related COPD exacerbations, and probably an effect on the total number of exacerbations in COPD patients. The administration of influenza vaccine to persons at risk of complications is the single most important measure in preventing or attenuating influenza infection and preventing mortality. While best practice guidelines recommend annual immunisation, a 15-month interval allows for cases when a client decides to receive a vaccine earlier than recommended (e.g. from a pharmacy), or delay and wait for the release of an ‘enhanced’ vaccine |

| Description | Measures the proportion of regular clients who are aged 15 years and over who have had their alcohol consumption status recorded in the previous 24 months, generally through an Audit C assessment. |
| Purpose for collection | Excessive consumption is associated with health and social problems in all populations. Many chronic conditions share common risk factors that are largely preventable, including excessive alcohol consumption. While fewer Australians are drinking at levels that contribute to alcohol-related harm, about 26% of people drink more than is recommended on a single occasion, and they do this at least once each month. |

| Description | This measure identifies the proportion of all regular clients who are aged between 45 and 74 years, as well as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander regular clients who are aged 35 to 44 years, who have had all the information required to calculate their absolute CVD (Cardiovascular disease) risk in the last 2 years. This includes having the following risk factors recorded:
|
| Purpose for collection | Assessment of absolute CVD risk based on multiple risk factors is more accurate than that based on individual risk factors due to the cumulative nature of risk effects. Basing patient management decisions on this approach should improve CVD outcomes. |

| Description | Proportion of female regular clients aged 25 to 74, who have not had a hysterectomy and who have had a cervical screening [human papillomavirus (HPV) test] after 1 December 2017 and within the previous 5 years. |
| Purpose for collection | Australia has the lowest mortality rate and the second lowest incidence of cervical cancer in the world. The success of the cervical screening program is dependent upon the recruitment of women. Higher participation in cervical screening means that more women with precancerous abnormalities can have these detected and treated, which is necessary for achieving the overall aim of reducing incidence and mortality from cervical cancer. |

| Description | Proportion of regular clients who have diabetes and who have had a blood pressure measurement result recorded at the primary health care service within the previous 6 months. |
| Purpose for collection | Diabetes was the underlying cause of around 10% of all deaths in Australia in 2016 and recent reports show death rates for people with type 2 diabetes are rising. For people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, monitoring blood pressure can help assure appropriate medical care to lower the risk of macro vascular (stroke, heart attack and heart failure) and microvascular (kidney disease, eye disease and peripheral neuropathy) complications. |
