The aim of this project was to study participants with heart disease, diabetes or asthma to determine if health outcomes or health services are impacted by chronic disease management plans; compare patterns of healthcare and health outcomes between those people who do have a current GP management plan and those who do not; and to develop policy and systems interventions to improve outcomes for people with chronic illness.
Outcomes resulting from this research:
