November topic:

Introduction to PHASES

Preventing Heart Attacks and Stroke Events through Surveillance

PHASES is a statewide screening, recall and treatment program supporting general practice to prevent and manage cardiovascular disease (CVD). It combines clinical tools such as Primary Sense™ and the Australian CVD Risk Calculator, practice-level quality improvement support, and a consumer campaign to drive earlier intervention, optimise care, and reduce the burden of disease.

Bring your whole team — everyone plays a role in improving primary health care and outcomes for patients at risk. Webinars hosted on Microsoft Teams with interactive Q&A via Slido. 

Together, we’re changing cardiovascular disease management and saving lives.

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.
