Developing clinical prioritisation criteria

The key to the success of Clinical Prioritisation Criteria (CPC) is clinician involvement at every step of development and implementation.

The criteria are developed by Clinical Advisory Groups for relevant medical specialties. Each Clinical Advisory Group is made up of interested clinicians from across Queensland who work in allied health, general practice, nursing and specialist care.

Criteria are developed for the most common conditions regularly referred to public specialist outpatient services. Not every condition will require CPC and others may be developed. CPC are reviewed regularly.

Clinical Advisory Groups are formed through an expression of interest process. Any clinician with relevant expertise, experience and/or interest is welcome to join as many groups as they choose and to contribute as and when they are able.
