The General Practice Aged Care Incentive - Webinar Series 

The Department of Health and Aged Care recently introduced the General Practice in Aged Care Incentive

 

Eligible GPs and practices registered in MyMedicare can receive incentive payments for providing care planning and regular visits to their registered patients who live in a residential aged care home.  The incentive supports GPs and care teams to deliver more proactive, planned and continuous care for people living in aged care homes, and is an important part of the Australian Government’s response to the Royal Commission into Quality and Safety in Aged Care and Strengthening Medicare

 

Prestantia Health was engaged by the Department of Health and Aged Care to develop best practice resources and information kits to support a range of stakeholders to understand their roles and implement the incentive. This includes people who live in aged care homes, their family and carers, GPs and practice staff, aged care home staff, Primary Health Networks and peak organisations. 

 

As phase 2 of this work we are delivering a webinar series offering an opportunity to further explore the incentive and share candid experiences in its implementation.

 

These webinars will include conversations on:

  • What this incentive means for you and the potential benefits

  • How to utilise the incentive to support high quality, integrated, patient centred care in an aged care setting

  • How obstacles involved in operationalising this incentive can be overcome.

     

This webinar series is being delivered with funding and support from the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care. All webinars will be delivered as independent events. While intended audiences are indicated for each webinar below, you are welcome to register for one or more of interest.
