Objectives: To review the effectiveness of chronic disease management interventions for physical health problems in primary care setting, and to identify policy options implementing successful Australian care. Methods: We conducted a systematic with qualitative data synthesis, using Chronic Care Model as framework analysis between January 1990 February 2006. Interventions were classified according which elements addressed: community resources, organisation, self-management support, delivery...
Early detection and intervention for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) could potentially slow progress minimize harm. To assess the effectiveness of early by a practice nurse-GP team on quality life (QoL) process care in patients with newly diagnosed COPD, compared usual care. Nurses GPs practices were educated to develop implement management plans COPD. A 12-month, multicentre, pragmatic randomized controlled trial blinded outcome assessment was conducted. Participants current...
Objectives: To compare the clinical diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with results post-bronchodilator spirometry in general practice, and examine practitioner, practice patient characteristics associated agreement between spirometric diagnoses. Design, setting participants: General practitioners from practices Sydney identified eligible patients aged 40–80 years seen past year prescribed respiratory medications whom they regarded as having COPD. Between November 2006...
Objective: To investigate the impact of high-intensity exercise on vestibular and oculomotor systems in a group sedentary active males females. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: Performance laboratory; Institute Sport, Exercise Health, London. Participants: Forty-five collegiate athletes 30 age-matched participants. Interventions: A baseline Vestibular Oculomotor Screening (VOMS) test was performed all participants before undertaking self-paced 5-minute treadmill run...
Using the COPD Diagnostic Questionnaire (CDQ) as a selection tool for spirometry could potentially improve efficiency and accuracy of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) diagnosis in at-risk patients.To identify an optimal single cut point CDQ that divides primary care patients into low or high likelihood COPD, with latter group undergoing spirometry.Former current smokers aged 40-85 years no prior were invited to case-finding appointment practice nurse at various general practices...
Workforce shortages in Australia are occurring across a range of health disciplines but most acute general practice. Skill mix change such as task substitution is one solution to workforce shortages. The aim this systematic review was explore the evidence for effectiveness between GPs and pharmacists nurses care older people with chronic disease. Published, peer reviewed (black) non-peer (grey) literature were included if they met inclusion criteria. Forty-six articles review. Task resulted...
Abstract Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of disability, hospitalization, and premature mortality. General practice well placed to diagnose manage COPD, but there significant gap between evidence current practice, with low level awareness implementation clinical guidelines. Under-diagnosis COPD world-wide problem, limiting the benefit that could potentially be achieved through early intervention strategies such as smoking cessation, dietary advice,...
Aim: The Asthma 3+ Visit Plan is an initiative to promote organised asthma care in general practice. This study aimed identify factors associated with uptake of the plan by practitioners, and their views on barriers facilitators implementation plan. Design: Postal survey sent a random sample GPs. Participants setting: 315 GPs five Divisions General Practice metropolitan Sydney, surveyed sequentially between 1 October 2002 31 May 2003. Outcome measures: Awareness use Plan; GP practice plan;...
To examine whether the Ways of Thinking and Doing (WoTWoD) cultural respect framework improves clinically appropriate anticipatory care in general practice levels medical staff. Mixed methods, cluster randomised controlled trial with a participatory action research approach. Fifty-six practices Sydney Melbourne, 2014-2017. WoTWoD encompasses toolkit (ten scenarios illustrating cross-cultural behaviour clinical practice), one half-day workshop, mentor support for practices, local partnership...
Practice nurses (PN) are an alternative workforce for cessation support in primary care, but their role and effectiveness is underdeveloped underresearched. This study evaluated a model of smoking intervention Australian general practice based on PNs. Smokers were identified by practitioner (GP) referred to the PN over four counselling visits offered free nicotine patches.Pre- post-study using mixed quantitative qualitative methods. Cessation outcomes collected patient self-report at 6...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is commonly managed in primary care but there poor awareness of evidence-based guidelines and the quality interpretation spirometry suboptimal. The aims this qualitative study were to explore how an intervention involving case finding management COPD was implemented, extent which GPs practice nurses (PNs) worked partnership diagnose manage COPD. Semi-structured interviews with PNs (n = 7), 4) patients 26) who had participated Primary EarLy...
Background: The early detection of developmental conditions such as autism is vital to ensure children can access appropriate and timely evidence-based supports, services, interventions. Children who have undetected in life are more likely develop later health, developmental, learning, behavioral issues, which turn a cumulative effect over the course. Methods: current protocol describes multi-site, cluster randomized control trial comparing surveillance pathway for usual care, using...
Abstract There are inequities in engagement with established early childhood developmental surveillance programs, eclipsing disadvantaged families. The current study sought to address this by dovetailing immunization visits and other opportunistic contacts children at general practices). While 53 General Practices were recruited, significant COVID-19 disruptions resulted only 81 being screened (both parent-administered GP completed). Of the children, 11 positive all of them along 5% screen...
The widespread accessibility of large language models (LLMs) to the general public has significantly amplified dissemination machine-generated texts (MGTs). Advancements in prompt manipulation have exacerbated difficulty discerning origin a text (human-authored vs machinegenerated). This raises concerns regarding potential misuse MGTs, particularly within educational and academic domains. In this paper, we present $\textbf{LLM-DetectAIve}$ -- system designed for fine-grained MGT detection....
