This report presents results from the twelfth year of BEACH program, a national study of general practice activity. From April 2009 to March 2010, 988 general practitioners recorded data about 98,800 GP-patient encounters involving the management of 155,373 problems. For an 'average' 100 encounters, GPs recorded 107 medications, 35 clinical treatments, 18 procedures, 9 referrals to specialists and 4 to allied health services, and ordered 45 pathology and 10 imaging tests.
15 Dec 2010 - Appendix 3-5 added.
The BEACH data contained in this report was collected by the Family Medicine Research Centre of the University of Sydney in collaboration with the AIHW. On 30 June 2011, the AIHW ceased its involvement in the BEACH program and ceased publishing annual BEACH reports. The survey continues to be run and the results are now published by the University of Sydney. See recent annual reports.
