Bridging the gap between health promotion and clinical healthcare
Clinical Prevention
Health and Wellbeing Queensland is leading a Clinical Prevention agenda to take pressure off the health system by reducing the burden of chronic disease. Clinical prevention bridges the gap between health promotion and treatment of disease through a coordinated approach to prevention, timely identification and early intervention of chronic disease. Our clinical prevention agenda focuses on improving the coordination of prevention, timely identification and early intervention of chronic conditions to improve health outcomes for Queenslanders. Our clinical prevention agenda includes a focus on:
- Enabling Health behaviours across the life course with a focus on the first 2000 days.
- Supporting healthcare professionals to deliver preventive healthcare.
- Developing and testing innovative prevention models of care which leverage technology and are delivered through partnerships.
Clinical Prevention Framework:
Underpinning this work, Health and Wellbeing Queensland has been leading the development of a Clinical Prevention Framework designed to support prevention efforts across the health system. Health and Wellbeing Queensland would like to thank all individuals who were part of the consultation phase and gave feedback on the draft framework. We are now in the process of analysing the data collected and finalising the framework.
