What is a team-based care clinic?
Team based care is a model developed by GenesisCare based on evidence from around the globe that patient outcomes can be improved by having a multi-disciplinary team involved in their cardiac care. At GenesisCare the cardiologist works with a team of highly trained cardiac nurses and cardiac physiologists to provide patient sub-speciality clinics. We offer clinics for arrhythmias, heart failure, CV risk assessment and cardio-oncology.
How will my patient benefit?
- Team based care delivers fast access to appointments
- Guideline driven, personalised management plans in an environment that has been proven to improve patient outcomes.
- By expanding the care team to include a nurse, we can offer your patients increased education on their condition,
- direct nurse lead helpline between appointments to help support increased treatment compliance.
Patients have access to clinics in a number of locations across Melbourne. To find out more please email your local Referrer Engagement Manager Effie Laveglia: Effie.laveglia@genesiscare.com
