- Use social media and posters to remind Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients about the importance of care plans, team care arrangements and reviews.
- Decide how you will recall the patients on your list (for instance, using phone calls, SMS, emails or letters), what you will say, and how you will divide the tasks.
