In Austria, people have a right to a free yearly health examination by a General practitioner.
This system dates from the 1970's. NIVEL was asked by the Organization of Austrian Social Insurance Carriers to help them modernize the system, according to the latest evidence-based insights in preventive medicine and healthcare.
Periodic Health examination requires instruments (questionnaires, forms, summary sheets) to record patient information about health and about individual risk factors for the development of several diseases. But, while PHE programmes may be designed based on scientific evidence and may use developed guidelines and policies as reference, the information about the forms used in these programmes is poor. Not only are there very few publications about he content of these forms, also evidence on the validity and reliability of specific questions on certain topics, let alone of complete questionnaires, remains scarce.
This technical report presents:
·a limited number of items indicating health status, disease and risk factors and the ways to measure these in a PHE
·an overview of the available evidence on the validity and reliability of specific questions on certain topics
·a start of a Patient Information Form (to be filled in by the patient) with questions and risk profiles addressing the priority domains and the task list provided by the commissioner.
·7 questionnaires developed by NIVEL (on CD-rom)
Also recommendations are given for the development of a Health Summary Sheet, the background information needed to calculate risk profiles and about some actions to be taken.
