Prediction Criteria

The possibility of predicting success in patients receiving brief problem orientated psychotherapy was tested in 18 adult patients selected from 10 Sydney general practices. Ratings were made of six clinical prediction criteria at the beginning of therapy and outcome was assessed directly after therapy and 12 months later. There were modest but significant correlations, particularly among the women, between the sum of the prediction ratings and the outcome 12 months after therapy.

Future Demand

This study investigated three key determinants of demand for general practice services: population growth, populationageing and trends in service use. Projection of future service use on the basis of the two demographic factors yielded aprojected growth in number of general practice services of 5.9% by 2006, with a further 6.5% growth by 2011. Whentrends in service use were taken into account as well as demographics, a lower rate of growth in services was projected,but an increasing proportion of long consultations and an increasing proportion of services for older adult patients. Itis concluded that population ageing and population growth will continue to be major drivers of demand for generalpractice services in the next decade. Patterns of service use will also be a key contributor, with increased use of longconsultations suggesting a greater requirement for the general practice workforce than has previously been proposed.

Health Records

In this study 85 adult patients attending a Sydney general practice were asked for their views on computer-assisted consultations; 77 (91%) agreed to participate. In general, patients agreed they could still talk easily with their doctor, and felt listened to, while the doctor used the computer (87% & 75% respectively). More than half the patients felt the computer contributed to better treatment, although a quarter believed consultations were prolonged. About half the patients agreed that the doctor did not often explain the role of the computer. Given the national plans for increasing computerisation of health records (Health Connect), this research suggests that more attention should be given to involving patients in e-health developments.
