HARP - Chronic Disease Management

The Victorian Government established the Hospital Admission Risk program (HARP) in 2001-02 to develop preventive models of care involving hospitals and community agencies which focused on people with chronic and complex conditions and gave priority to high volume and/or frequent users of the acute public hospital system.

HARP CDM focuses on continuing to improve the management of people with defined chronic diseases and complex needs who frequently use hospitals or who are at risk of hospitalisation. HARP CDM involves embedding the models of care that have emerged through HARP since 2001 into the Victorian service system.
