According to the RACGP Standards for General Practices 4th edition, practices need to demonstrate that they are routinely recording the ATSI status in the patient health record. Is your practice compliant?

We developed a template ATSI background self-identification policy for use by practices. It is available on our Aboriginal health page under the heading “Practice resources”.

See below for screen shots on clinical software applications and how ATSI status is recorded.
