RESUMO

Introduction Counties Manukau Health Otolaryngology programme for general practitioners with special interest (GPwSI) was developed to provide a group of GPs with tools to manage low complexity, secondary otolaryngology (ORL) problems in their local communities. After clinical triaging, the medical records were retrieved to assess patient outcomes from community (GPwSI) review. This programme provides an example of how the aims of the Health NZ reforms may work in practice, by bridging primary and secondary services. Aim To assess whether the GPwSI programme provides patients with suitable specialty care in the community, compared to a specialised, hospital outpatient otolaryngology clinic (OPC). Methods This is a retrospective study of patients with an assigned priority of three (non-urgent) referred to Middlemore Hospital for a first specialist assessment (FSA) during 2018-19. Results Of the 6231 patients referred, one-fifth (22%) were directed to the GPwSI service, and the remainder (78%) were arranged to be seen in the OPC. GPwSI patients were more likely to be seen for their FSA earlier than OPC patients (RR 1.55, 95% CI 1.46-1.64, P Discussion Patients being seen through the GPwSI programme are suitably managed in the community, more efficiently than if they were to be seen in an outpatient specialist clinic.
