This exploration of potentially preventable hospitalisations focuses on conditions that may be prevented or managed best by general practice to minimise likelihood of admission. The proposed specification was developed in conjunction with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners with a view to use as a flexible reporting and education tool for care improvement. Feedback is sought for this proposed specification.
