Introduction to PHASES (Preventing Heart Attacks and Stroke Events through Surveillance)
PHASES is a statewide screening, recall and treatment program supporting general practice to prevent and manage cardiovascular disease (CVD). It combines clinical tools such as Primary Sense™ and the Australian CVD Risk Calculator, practice-level quality improvement support, and a consumer campaign to drive earlier intervention, optimise care, and reduce the burden of disease.
