At the end of 2020, 117 810 Australians were living with chronic HCV infection. A new national program aiming to help eliminate hepatitis C in Australia is calling GPs and other health professionals working in primary care to sign up and help locate those Australians who may be unaware they have the virus. General Practice staff are at the frontline in helping identify those in the community with hepatitis C. This program is helping doctors and practices scale up their existing systems to identify patients and screen at-risk groups. Practices then recall patients to offer testing, treatment and care. Beyond the C assists General Practice staff with alternative search criteria for data extraction to identify patients with active hepatitis C and also provides ongoing education and resources to manage hepatitis C cases. The expansion of this program is also an important step in helping General Practice identify and manage other chronic diseases and conditions through broader application of the case finding and auditing techniques this program applies.

The objective of this clinical audit is to optimise the quality of primary care provided to patients with moderate and severe asthma by: 1. Reviewing and improving practices of documentation of the care process in patient electronic medical records. 2. Aligning primary care processes with national and international best practice guidelines for asthma management and the asthma cycle of care. The formulation of clinical guidelines alone is insufficient to ensure optimum asthma care. Clinical audits as a process of improving the quality of patient care and outcomes by reviewing care against specific criteria and then reviewing the changes in the cycle of care can assist and support in optimising care. Conducting audits is a proven method of improving efficiency, accountability and the quality of care in asthma. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;
