Book excerpt: This book provides a summary of results from the 16th year of the BEACH program, a continuous national study of general practice activity in Australia. From April 2013 to March 2014, 959 general practitioners recorded details of 95,900 GP-patient encounters, at which patients presented 148,880 reasons for encounter and 151,675 problems were managed. For an 'average' 100 problems managed, GPs recorded: 65 medications (including 53 prescribed, seven supplied to the patient and six advised for over-the-counter purchase); 12 procedures; 24 clinical treatments (advice and counselling); six referrals to specialists and three to allied health services; orders for 31 pathology tests and seven imaging tests. A subsample study of more than 31,000 patients suggests prevalence of measured risk factors in the adult (18 years and over) population who attended general practice at least once in 2013-14 were: obesity-27%; overweight-35%; daily smoking-17%; at-risk alcohol consumption-26%. One in four people in the attending population had at least two of these risk factors. A companion publication, A decade of Australian general practice activity 2004-05 to 2013-14 is also available.
