ADF Post-Discharge GP Health Assessment

The ADF Post-discharge Health Assessment tool was developed by MedicalDirector in association with Flinders University for the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) to assist GPs in identifying and diagnosing the early onset of physical or mental health problems among former serving members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

To open the assessment, in the clinical window, select Assessment > Post-discharge GP Health Assessment.

The assessment is based on well validated screening measures which target:

Levels of physical activity
Chronic pain
Sleep
Alcohol and substance use
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Psychological health and sexual health

The assessment will usually take between 20-75 minutes to complete depending on the number and complexity of issues identified. The assessment should be undertaken by the patient's usual treating medical practitioner who can be assisted by a suitably qualified health professional (e.g., a practice nurse). Following the assessment advice is provided for issues requiring follow-up.

Note:

the ADF Post-discharge Health Assessment is not accessible to patients who are currently permanent members of the ADF .

A once-off Medicare rebate is available to each patient completing this assessment.
