The purpose of this document is to describe the minimum requirements recommended for implementation within Clinical Information System (CIS) in primary care where the primary care healthcare provider is providing clinical care to an older person in a Residential Aged Care Home (RACH). These requirements are an extension of the Aged Care CIS standards recommended minimum requirements previously published [AGENCY2024a].
The minimum requirements are a selection of standards applicable to clinical information systems used by General Practitioners (GP), that will collate existing standards into one document for the primary care software sector. This will allow for interoperability, addressing barriers to GPs providing clinical support to residential aged care homes.
