Practice Health Atlas - How Well do You Know Your Practice?
How well do you know your practice?
- Do you know the answers to the following…
- Where are your patients located?
- What is your practice market share?
- What is the prevalence of chronic disease in your practice compared to national benchmarks?
- What potential new income could your practice be generating through better utilisation of item numbers from your existing patient base?
The Practice Health Atlas (PHA) is a decision support and practice planning tool that aims to inspire general practice teams to reflect on their activities and to develop innovative business models for more effective health care services/outcomes.
The PHA for your practice can be utilised as an information resource to compare with your Practice’s existing knowledge and for business and clinical systems modelling.
There are two components to the PHA:
- Epidemiological view of practice data within a geographic information context and informed by practice data, national census data and other data sources
- Clinical and Business Systems Modelling to link the health characteristics of a practice patient population with business opportunities to provide improved health outcomes
