Clinical Information System - General Practitioner - Requirements v1.1

The purpose of this document is to describe the requirements recommended for implementation within Clinical Information Systems (CIS) in primary care with a focus on providing clinical care to an older person in a Residential Aged Care Home (RACH). These requirements are an extension of the Aged Care CIS requirements previously published.

The requirements are applicable to clinical information systems used by General Practitioners (GP) and collate existing requirements across many products and programs into this document for the primary care software sector. This will allow for interoperability, addressing barriers to GPs providing clinical support to residential aged care homes.
