Dramatically improve patient recall with the click of a button
Our unique program has already been seamlessly incorporated into the day-to-day practice of thousands of general practitioners nationwide, and has helped those doctors achieve impressive patient recall results.
If you are a current Clinical Labs referrer, simply enrol in the program and you will be provided access to your program data highlighting patients who are due for their recommended 6-monthly HbA1c monitoring.
You can also track your progress throughout the program, against that of your state peers, with our quick reference tables and graphs.
Reduce administrative time and cost
Doctors who may not have the administrative support required for following up on patients for review can use our customised patient reminder service.
By logging into our user-friendly web portal you can choose to send your patients customised reminder letters through the Clinical Labs mail house – leaving you with more time for patient care.
Our Diabetes Clinical Evaluation Program seeks to make the clinically recommended monitoring of diabetes seamless for both doctor and patient, creating a consistent and reliable review schedule for people living with diabetes. Patients attend the same practice for consultations and follow-up appointments – allowing consistent patient monitoring and optimisation of care.
