Northern Adelaide General Practice Integration Unit (NAGPIU)
Program overview
This unit is a joint project with the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network (NALHN) and aims to reduce the number of avoidable hospital presentations and inappropriate referrals to the outpatient department at the Lyell McEwin and Modbury Hospitals.
The unit can provide a direct clinical contact point for advice and assistance to navigate the hospitals and links directly with their medical teams.
This dedicated service is for GPs and their staff and is not intended for patients.
GPs can contact the unit to assist with urgent request for medical information or in coordinating community-based patient care and promote hospital avoidance pathways.
