Primary Sense CVD Risk Screening, Recall and Treatment Report now available

A new report in Primary Sense is now available to help general practices identify patients who may benefit from cardiovascular disease risk assessment, recall and treatment review. The Primary Sense CVD Risk Screening, Recall and Treatment Report was released on 2 February 2026, providing general practices with a practical new tool to support cardiovascular disease […]

Funded by the Queensland Health Clinical Research Fellowship, the PHASES Linkage project connects general practice cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk data with hospitalisation and mortality data. This study aims to better understand how CVD risk impacts hospitalisation rates and assess the accuracy of the new CVD risk prediction equation in identifying high-risk individuals within Queensland’s population. 

The project will: 

  • Estimate the number of heart attacks and strokes that could be prevented with improved treatment for high CVD risk. 
  • Identify gaps in CVD prevention to inform future care strategies. 

Running in parallel with the PHASES project, PHASES Linkage highlights the power of data-driven insights to improve cardiovascular outcomes and reduce hospitalisations.
