General Practice
Almost half of all GP consultations involve patients with chronic illness. Managing these patients to the high standard expected of general practice can be challenging.
Team care and patient follow-up are difficult to manage. And the MBS Items created to reward you for this additional effort — GP Management Plans, Team Care Arrangements and Reviews — impose a burden of paperwork that takes you away from delivering real care to your patients.
The cdmNet coordinated care platform helps general practice overcome these challenges. It simplifies team-based care, removes administrative burden, and increases your earning potential. All without the usual complications.

How cdmNet works for you and your patients
Better patient outcomes
As identified by the Primary Care Advisory Group, the key to better outcomes for patients with chronic illness is coordinated team care with regular follow up and review.
cdmNet simplifies this process by automatically creating and managing best practice digital care plans meeting all RACGP guidelines. It tracks activities across the care team, triggers periodic reviews, and highlights overdue and upcoming tasks for follow up.
More time to practice good medicine
Managing chronically ill patients under the MBS CDM Items involves a high administrative burden and time-consuming communication with the care team.
cdmNet removes this administrative burden by seamlessly connecting the care team via the cloud, sharing progress notes, and automating GPMP and TCA documentation. It creates, signs and distributes allied health referral forms without faxing and telephone tag.
Increased earning potential
MBS CDM Items provide high earning potential, rewarding you for the additional care chronically ill patients require. However, it is hard to deliver this level of care to every eligible patient and make use of all appropriate MBS Items.
cdmNet helps identify patients eligible for MBS CDM items at the point of care and simplifies planning and review. It provides end-to-end workflows to guide you through the creation and delivery of all MBS CDM items and associated services.
Lower audit risk
MBS CDM items are subject to audit for Medicare compliance. Strict governance has seen a doubling in PSR audit cases in each of the last three years, with average settlement costs of $200,000.
cdmNet protects you against the financial risk of a negative PSR audit by personalising care plans to the patient, providing structured workflows meeting all Medicare requirements, and triggering critical compliance checks throughout the patient journey.
