CVC Program: How to enrol a patient
Enrolment Process
The practice must:
 DVA & GPs identify potential participants (gold card holder, chronic condition, at risk of frequent
hospital admissions)
 Assess eligibility for the program – not RACF
 Gain the participants consent – record in patients notes
 Conduct a needs assessment – over 75s health assessment (preferably in patients home)
 Prepare a care plan – templates can be http://www.cvcprogram.net.au/resources
 Patient friendly care plan
 Finalise the care plan – GP assists
 Consider the need for social assistance.
When all steps are completed, the GP records the enrolment and consent on the patient’s record. The
GP can now claim the Initial Incentive Payment (as below) and this will automatically inform DVA that
the patient is now a participant of the CVC program.
