Dapto Healthcare is one of 60 general practices in the Illawarra region working to improve patient care by making use of electronic health record data to achieve quality improvement. Practice Nurse, Jade Cromie, has been working to engage patients who are eligible for the 75+ health assessments. 

The health checks provide a structured way of identifying new health issues that need addressing, or existing conditions that are not being managed as well as they could be. This may lead to the patient being recalled to the practice for a GP Management Plan or a Mental Health Treatment Plan.
