The Primary Health Insights platform is a key enabler for Primary Health Networks to deliver increased value to general practice.
Improved patient health outcomes
The core aim of the platform is to provide easy to use reports and analytics of de-identified patient data to general practice. This will enable GPs to better understand the health and well being of their local communities and provide the best responses to patients’ health needs, leading to improved population health outcomes.
The process is illustrated with this use case below.
Best in class data security, governance and privacy
Through its best in class security and cyber protection, robust governance framework and privacy protections that delivers privacy in line with legislation, practices can be assured that their health data is safe and well protected from potential breaches and unauthorised access. Only de-identified patient data is stored on the platform and additional safeguards are used to minimise risk of re-identification, e.g. in single practice communities.
Seamless transition for general practice
Migration of general practice data to Primary Health Insights has required no changes to data extraction software or Data Sharing Agreements.
Strengthened relationship with your PHN
PHNs can use the data and the platform tools to derive insights and make decisions about funding for services most needed in your community.
Greater ability to plan for the future
Ultimately, advanced analytics will provide general practices with the opportunity to use trended and predictive data models to plan health service provision into the future. This will assist practice business planning and sustainability.
