Most NSW Divisions don't have IM&T capacity any longer.

How are you going to force, bribe your members to give you these figures ??
Cedric
Cedric,
No force, maybe subtle bribes through long-term relationship building,
being helpful to them whenever possible, the same as divisions do with
everything that they encourage their members to participate in that is
requested by government, the college and other bodies that want GPs to
do new things with a population health or risk-management basis.
Practice computing is a good example. We had 9 clinical computer users
back in 1999, and between the PIP, though lots of computerised practices
aren't PIP registered, though probably the majority are plus training
and support, we're now at around 140 GPs using clinical computing. Still
low by many divisions'stndards but we have lots of solo, bulk-billing
overseas trained from NESB and non-European backgrounds, so their are
lots of hurdles to overcome.
Just a pity that the PIP had stagnated for so long and didn't encourage
GPs to do more things. That was left to our training, without other
incentives, and things like the pathology companies offering to install
messaging for results for free.
You should volunteer to give your de-identified data to your Division,
Cedric.
