Health in Focus Survey
The annual CheckUP survey, Health in Focus, aims to investigate key issues faced by primary health care practitioners and the general public in Queensland focusing on a range of key topics including workforce models, care coordination, preventative health, telehealth utilisation and the interface between different sectors.
CheckUP uses the results of the survey to:
inform discussions with stakeholders
inform internal planning
identify areas of need
identify and celebrate initiatives that have been successful
increase the profile of primary health care in Queensland
In 2016, the Health in Focus survey received 1,137 responses across all health provider groups and the general public.
