Ep92: Data-driven practice improvement
Feb 27, 2023 Episode 92
the Royal Australasian College of Physicians

Medical and administrative records are normally collected to help the management of patients or institutions, but it can be time consuming to extract metrics useful for practice improvement. The field known as Practice Analytics seeks to transform these data and provide clinicians with a bird’s eye view of their case load and performance. Practice Analytics can draw attention to cases that stood out from the trend, not for any regulatory purpose, but simply to help clinicians reflect and improve. This could even act a shortcut to meeting the new requirements for CPD imposed by the medical boards. 

Guests
Professor Tim Shaw (University of Sydney; Research Director, Digital Health Cooperative Research Centre)
Dr David Rankin (Director Clinical Governance and Informatics, Cabrini Health)

Production
Produced by Mic Cavazzini DPhil. Recording assistance from Jon Tjhia in Melbourne. Music courtesy of FreeMusicArchive includes ‘Transference’ by Ben Carey. Music licenced from Epidemic Sound includes ‘Emerlyn’ by Valante. Image by Courtney Hale licenced from Getty Images.
