Practice Reflections: COPD a quality improvement opportunity

From today 35,000 general practitioners are receiving a personalised Practice Reflections: COPD report by mail. This free initiative provides each eligible GP with a personalised, confidential report based on their own MBS data.

The individualised provider report highlights office-spirometry utilisation data in patients aged 35 years and above and provides a comparison with peers to support professional reflection. 

Key opportunities include:

  • Quality improvement for providers to review office-spirometry data against their peers
  • Time spent on reviewing the report qualifies for CPD as a self-recorded activity
  • Reflective learning which aims to improve patient outcomes and alignment with best practice in diagnosis of COPD.
