The guidelines (page 4) state that patient clinical management is not permitted under the Panels Initiative. What is the definition of patient clinical management as per the Panels Initiative?
A simple rule is that if Panels funding is provided to a GP or allied health professional to provide a service to a single resident of an aged care facility it is not an appropriate use of Panel funds. Panels funding is not permitted to be used to address diagnosed conditions for individual/or groups of individual patients.
