Title Implementation of a nursing initiative in primary care: A case report, cardiovascular disease risk reduction Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication New Zealand Family Physician Abbreviated Journal
Volume (up) 35 Issue 3 Pages 183-186
Keywords Multidisciplinary care teams; Cardiovascular diseases; Case studies; Primary health care
Abstract The aim was to report on implementation of a nursing initiative of cardiovascular disease (CVD) screening risk assessment at the Mornington Health Centre, Dunedin, with initial outcomes after six months. The practice aim was 80% of their eligible population assessed within three to four years, particularly targeting high-risk groups. The audit indicates that in their first six months, Mornington Health Centre had screened 42% of their eligible patients. This is described as very successful progress towards their goal of 80%. A number of key organisational factors are identified that are likely to have contributed to the development and success of the nurse CVD risk assessment programme at Mornington Health Centre. The authors suggest that this case study demonstrates how organisational change, where the practice nurse role in the multidisciplinary team is clear, can facilitate a practice to meet a population-based goal.
