The Common Form
Supporting cardiovascular risk and diabetes assessments. We bring all the data together in one place, apply the risk calculation in the background, and then guide the clinician on what to do next – within the consultation.
Benefits
The Benefits of the Common Form:
- It is a dynamic form that will change format based on the clinical information recorded in Medtech or Indici and as information is entered into the form. That is the display for a patient without diabetes will be different to the same patient with diabetes.
- It pre-populates all relevant data from the Patient Management System (PMS) patient record
- Where possible all information will write back into the PMS, for example, smoking status, smoking cessation brief advice or refused smoking cessation will write back the appropriate classification or screening information. Manually entered lab result data is not verified, and will not write back and will only save on a completed form as an outbox.
- It creates a recall for the patient for their next review or monitoring appointment
- The algorithms and rules behind the Common form reflect the 2019 update of the NZGG Primary Care Handbook for CVRA, diabetes screening and the 2019 HISO data standard for cardiovascular disease risk assessment in New Zealand.
- The common form CVRA is designed to collect only the minimum information needed to calculate risk, thereby avoiding unnecessary clicks. It then prompts with recommended management options allowing clinicians to focus on optimising best practice.
