We will aim to recruit 200 general practices across Australia to participate in this trial. General practice inclusion criteria:
•General practices must have accreditation from one of the five Australian accreditation agencies recognised by the RACGP – AGPAL, Quality Practice Accreditation, Australian Council on Healthcare Standards, Global-Mark Pty Ltd or Institute for Healthy Communities Australia Certification Pty Ltd.
•Practices must be using CAT4 with Best Practice, Medical Director, Zedmed, Genie, Medtech, practiX, Communicare, MMEX or PCIS software.
•Practices must allow Healthily to enable GoShare Plus functionality in CAT4.
As part of the study, general practices in intervention arms 1 (recall only) and 2 (recall and nudge) will use GoShare Plus software to send Heart Health Check recall SMS to their eligible patients asking them to come in for cardiovascular screening. Eligible patients who will be identified via practice software:
•Aged 45 to 74 years
•No recorded diagnosis of existing CVD, and
•No health assessment or Heart Health Check in the last 24 months, and
•No recorded total cholesterol to HDL ratio (TC:HDL) in the last 24 months, and
•Active patient of the practice based on RACGP definition of active patient (at least 3 visits in the last 2 years)
If the patient has opted out of research projects and is included in the practice opt-out register.
