Heavy menstrual bleeding clinical care standard indicators: 2-Local arrangements for the provision of consumer-focused information about heavy menstrual bleeding

Evidence of local arrangements for the provision of consumer-focused information about heavy menstrual bleeding.

Local arrangements should specify that the consumer-focused information is:

• up-to-date
• from a clinically-appropriate source (e.g. from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners or the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists), or adapted from such a source (and updated in line with the original source)
• provided to patients at an identified point in the care process (e.g. at presentation or following assessment and diagnosis).

A healthcare setting where care is provided to patients with heavy menstrual bleeding which has documented evidence of local arrangements should record ‘Yes’. Otherwise, the healthcare setting should record ‘No'.

Yes/No

Applicable settings: primary care settings (including general practice, family planning and sexual health services), public and private specialist gynaecology clinics and practices, and public and private hospitals.
