Summary
Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and disability in Australia. Since 1999, patients in Australia have been able to access a variety of comprehensive disease management programs subsidised through Medicare. We will use comprehensive linked data from survivors of stroke registered in the Australian Stroke Clinical Registry to provide the first robust evaluation of the effectiveness of these enhanced models of primary care in patients with chronic diseases using stroke as an example.
