- Develop and implement structured systems and protocols for the referral of potential patients to other HealthCare Professionals, and for sharing clinical findings from patient screening and monitoring across the health care team and system, namely via shared access (for consultation and input) to the patient’s (electronic) health records.
- Develop and implement structured and evidence-based strategies and professional services for the optimisation of treatments and medicines use, to ensure optimal clinical and quality of life outcomes and resource utilisation.
- Develop and implement structured and evidence-based strategies and professional services for special patient populations with long-term conditions and specific needs, such as older adults, people with functional diversity, rare disease patients, poor and vulnerable patients, illiterate patients, migrant populations, refugees and other groups.
