Using practice analytics to understand variation and support reflective practice
Project Participants
Status: Ongoing
Opportunity
Make better use of the masses of clinical performance data that’s collected by healthcare organisations to improve health outcomes for patients.
Project objective
This project will explore the role performance data collected through various systems such as billing and administration can play in supporting reflective practice by health professionals. Focusing on how this information can be extracted from data systems (such as Patient Administration Systems) and be used by clinical teams to engage in reflective practice.
Utilising co-design and engagement with practitioners, the project will also examine ways that clinical teams can use this data to reduce variation and support ongoing performance improvement.
The work will look at a range of primary clinical areas and endeavour to adopt an appropriate balance across practitioner and surgical areas.
Potential key areas of focus include:
- Respiratory
- Cardiology
- Neurology
- Gastroenterology
- Orthopaedic surgery
- Upper GI surgery
- Urology
- Neurosurgery
