New PHASES factsheets to benefit primary care teams 

Over the coming weeks, PHN teams across Queensland are engaging general practice to support participation in PHASES.

These visits will focus on:

  • Supporting whole-of-practice engagement
  • Building confidence using Primary Sense
  • Reducing workload barriers
  • Improving data and strengthening practice processes.

PHN teams will also be sharing a new suite of PHASES factsheets, covering:

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.
