Abstract

Aims – To evaluate early trends in Australian health system utilisation and consumer preferences for peri-/menopause care, as reported via the inaugural Virtual regIstry of perI-/menopause in AusTrALia (VITAL).

Methods – VITAL was designed by a researcher with >20 years’ clinical trials & ANZ registry expertise, with lived experience of peri-/menopause, to collate consumer feedback on peri-/menopause experiences, treatment preferences, & priorities. Enhanced by a stakeholder consortium of >250 experts, VITAL recently launched to national dissemination via innovative methodologies & cutting-edge technology, surpassing ACSQHC clinical quality registry guidelines. VITAL collates information not just on the clinical diagnosis & treatment pathways experienced, but also on the pathways consumers prefer.

Results – Analysis of VITAL registry data collected to date will include current self-reported health system utilisation and health service preferences by demographics, as advised by VITAL’s peri-/menopause community.

Key Conclusions – VITAL is the inaugural Australian peri-/menopause registry, and world-first consumer-led, consumer-driven, & consumer-directed registry, to enable early insight into how well we, as clinicians & researchers, are responding to the needs & wants of our Australian peri-/menopause community. Preliminary evidence presented here provides the first evidence for health care utilisation and preferences for this cohort.
