Database Search: Chronic Condition Management

This article provides a set of database search queries to assist practices in identifying patients who may be eligible for a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) and review. These queries are designed to help you locate patients with specific clinical or administrative indicators, such as those who have not yet had a care plan billed, are approaching a review date, or may require registration for MyMedicare.

NOTE  Users will need the Search Clinical Data user permission set to Allow access to search for clinical items from the database, such as chronic disease conditions. You do not need this permission to search for demographics or management information. See User Permissions for more information.
