Pharmacy Daily | Healthpoint diabetes referral payments

Pharmacies which offer the Healthpoint touch screens and iPads to assess patient risk of diabetes have the opportunity to receive a payment of $20+GST for each eligible referral to the Victorian-based Life! type 2 diabetes prevention program. Healthpoint has partnered with Life! to enable customers to assess their risk using the Australian Type 2 Diabetes Assessment (AUSDRISK) tool. Customers who score 12 or more are identified as being at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and those who provide their details will be followed up by a health professional to discuss their risk further and how they can become involved in Life! The payments are available until the end of the program in Jun 2015. For more information on how to participate in the scheme email casefinding@diabetesvic.org.au.
