Cardiovascular risk disease prevention in primary care - using an absolute risk approach

The Partnerships & Primary Health unit together with the Heart Foundation (Victoria), Central Hume Primary Care Partnership and Ovens & King Community Health Service participated in a joint project to improve screening, care planning and follow-up for clients at risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The intention of the project was to act as a demonstration project to encourage adoption of CVD risk screening and management service pathways in other community health settings.
