Abstract | [Executive Summary]: The expected short term benefits are for the GPs. The primary anticipated benefit is from the educational value resulting from a joint consultation with the Endocrinologist (the Specialist). GPs anticipate that not only will they be able to better manage the patients seen in the joint consultation but will be able to use this knowledge to provide better care to other patients. The lunch time forums provide an additional educational opportunity in a group setting. Toowoomba Hospital Outpatients Department and GP Connections consider the PIPC to be a success, at least in the short term, and foresee benefits to the expansion of this program. The University of Queensland and the University of Southern Queensland were commissioned to conduct an independent evaluation of the PIPC. In order to ascertain the effectiveness of the PIPC the following guiding questions were examined: 1. Use of PIPC service: Are patients attending the Clinic at their local General Practice? To answer these questions both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from GPs, administrative staff; patients; observations of educational forums (General Practice medical staff, Endocrinologist); and the Endocrinologist. |
