QUality improvement in primary care to prevent hospitalisations and improve Effectiveness and efficiency of care for people Living with heart disease (QUEL)

心脏病是造成大量死亡和住院的原因。我们的目标是通过支持全科医生使用他们的数据和提供更系统的护理来改善对心脏病患者的持续预防。我们建议进行一项随机试验，以确定练习水平的策略是否能减少心血管事件和住院治疗，并节省资金。这项研究将直接为政府关于初级保健激励支付计划的决策和政策提供信息。

Heart disease accounts for a great number of deaths and admissions to hospital. We aim to improve ongoing prevention for people with heart disease by supporting general practices to use their data and provide more systematic care. We propose a randomised trial to determine whether a practice level strategy reduces cardiovascular events and hospitalisations and saves money. The research will directly inform government decision-making and policy regarding primary care incentive payment programs.
