CHANGES TO THE 5th STANDARDS - Telehealth Updates - After reviewing the Standards, the RACGP has made changes relating to how telehealth is defined – these include suggestions, explanatory information, and supporting resources for practices that offer telehealth. These changes are in response to the new MBS item numbers for telehealth consultations during the COVID-19 pandemic and, also in anticipation that telehealth consultations may continue as a consultation type post-pandemic. To find out where these changes have been made through the Standards, refer to the RACGP website: https://www.racgp.org.au/running-a-practice/practice-standards/standards-newsletter/november-2021 Also, refer to the RACGP’s ‘Guide to providing telephone and video consultations in general practice’ https://www.racgp.org.au/getmedia/53011161-bcf0-4174-b49e-ff3a7154f691/Guide-to-providing-telephone-and-video-consultations-in-general-practice.pdf.aspx - Sex & Gender Updates - The RACGP has also made changes to the Standards regarding collecting and recording sex, gender, and variations of sex characteristics – this will assist practices to be responsive to their patients' needs and deliver better patient outcomes.
