Riverina Collaboratives

Better Patient Outcomes…Better Bottom Line

About the Program ( Factsheet)

The Collaborative program was developed as an off-shoot of active involvement in the National Primary Care Collaborative (NPCC/APCC) with the goal for “Every General Practice in the Division to value and utilize their data in order to improve patient outcomes”. At least 70% of General Practices within the boundaries of the Riverina Division of General Practice & Primary Health has participated in the program.
