Rehabilitation Clinical Advisory Group seeking expressions of interest
Express your interest in the Clinical Prioritisation Criteria (CPC) programme's Clinical Advisory Group for the development of Rehabilitation CPCs.
The Clinical Prioritisation Criteria (CPC) programme is currently seeking expressions of interest from clinicians with relevant expertise and a commitment to actively participate in the Clinical Advisory Group (CAG) for the development of Rehabilitation CPCs.
Please refer to the CAG terms of reference for detailed information on the roles and responsibilities of CAG members.
The details:
- the anticipated timeframe for this CPC development is six to 12 months
- the CAG will operate through a flexible medium agreed upon by its members, such as Microsoft Teams, email or face-to-face meetings (including virtual options via Teams)
Aims of the development
About the CPC CAG
The primary aim of the CAG is to review and advise on the development of CPCs, specifically in the context of:
- establishing minimum criteria for referring practitioners to follow when referring patients to their first specialist outpatient appointment
- defining minimum criteria for specialist outpatient services to determine the urgency category for patient appointments
- identifying essential referral information required to support the referral process
- informing updates that are subsequently integrated into HealthPathways
The CPC is embedded within both the HealthPathways and the GP Smart Referral platform, which have been implemented across Queensland. These systems support consistency in referral processes statewide. More information about CPCs is available on the CPC website.
Scope and Involvement of the CAG
Currently, CPCs cover 417 conditions across 27 specialty areas, including both adult and paediatric conditions. Over 900 clinicians across medical, nursing, allied health, and general practice have contributed to CAGs, guiding the development of these criteria to ensure they reflect clinical realities and support patient needs effectively.
How to Submit an EOI
To express interest, please send a brief email to Liz Travers at cpc@health.qld.gov.au by COB Friday, 22 November 2024, indicating your interest.
