PHASES February webinar: Driving quality improvement in general practice

Registrations are now open for our first 2026 PHASES webinar, focused on embedding quality improvement into routine workflows using practice data and the PHASES CVD Quality Improvement Toolkit.

Guest speaker Kari Lusk, Operations Manager at Montier Health, will guide the session and share practical approaches that can be applied in general practice settings.

What you will learn

This session will support practices to:

  • Understand the PHASES initiative and the value of a whole of practice approach to CVD prevention.
  • Explore the Queensland PHN Quality Improvement Toolkit to identify and manage patients at risk of cardiovascular disease.
  • Learn how to lead quality improvement activities that support effective CVD prevention.
  • Apply evidence-based tools to identify care gaps, track patient progress and improve CVD outcomes.

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.
