LipidPlan in a box ASCVD resources

LipidPlan in a box is intended to support GPs and primary care teams in undertaking quality improvement (QI) activities to improve the quality of care for their patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Developed with the guidance of a multidisciplinary steering committee of primary care experts and sponsored by Novartis Australia, it is designed to be easy to access online, and is available in two formats.

First, a QI toolkit — an interactive PDF with tools and resources to help implement Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles within practice. The interactive PDF toolkit is designed to equip primary care providers with the tools and resources to facilitate better low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) management QI activities by engaging public health networks to prioritise local needs, assembling an implementation team, implementing PDSA cycles within practice and adopting the most effective strategies across the clinic. This is not a Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP)-approved continuing professional development (CPD) activity.

Second, online RACGP-accredited CPD activities — a series of seven standalone RACGP-accredited mini audits to implement within practice. (These are RACGP-approved CPD activities under the RACGP CPD Program and comprise three activity types to provide a total of 8.5–10.5 hours of CPD each).
