The Feds are putting the wind up us again (i.v.). I would like to keep a copy of their checklist defence (http://www.health.gov.au/internet/wcms/publishing.nsf/Content/648DE4B114E3370BCA257019007DB5C3/$File/CDM%20items%20-%20Checklist%20GPMPs%20and%20TCAs.pdf) in MD but annoyingly this is only in pdf format. (Everything else is in RT and PDF on http://www.health.gov.au/internet/wcms/publishing.nsf/Content/pcd-programs-epc-chronicdisease.)
pdf is a popular open format but there are no free converters that work on this document. pdftops complains about the file being damaged and pdftohtml does not render. Suggestions welcome. David ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.ama.com.au/web.nsf/doc/WEEN-6SSA2W *Chronic Disease Management Audit* In the first half of 2007 Medicare Australia will be conducting an Australia-wide audit of general practice Chronic Disease Management (CDM) care planning. GPs can use the CDM items checklist to assess how well their CDM plans measure up to MBS requirements. The checklist is available at www.health.gov.au, follow the A-Z index to C for Chronic Disease Management Medicare Items. The intention of this checklist is to provide easy-to-use general guidance on the formal MBS requirements which GPs must meet when using the CDM items. More detailed information regarding the use of the CDM items can also be found on the same web page. Medicare Australia will write separately to GPs involved in the CDM care planning audit closer to the audit period. In addition, the Department of Health and Ageing intends to undertake a post-implementation review (PIR) of the CDM items during the first half of 2007, for completion around mid-year. _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
