CDM Medicare Items
Chronic Disease Management (CDM) items offer flexible care-planning options for GPs. Patients who also have complex care needs can have a GP Management Plan, and a Team Care Arrangements service.
GPs can be assisted by practice nurses, aboriginal health workers and other health professionals in providing the CDM items. Through the assessment conducted by the Healthy at Home Team assistance towards CDM items can be provided and includes:
-
information collection
-
aspects of patient assessment
-
identification of patient needs
-
making arrangements for services.
The GP must see the patient and review and confirm all assessments and elements of the plan.
For further information, refer to the Department of Health and Ageing CDM Medicare items web page.
