Connecting people and data in a modern medical aspect

As we witness the evolution of telehealth beyond the pandemic, it is evident that the healthcare landscape will increasingly depend on artificial intelligence and big data.

The previous few years has brought to light the potential of leveraging technology to enhance our industry’s efficiency – hello telehealth! But how does a medical clinic or medical professional capitalise on the uptake of technology here?

At the start of the pandemic, Clinimetrix became a powerful tool for CMH Practice Management and their medical centres when patient numbers declined with stay-at-home orders. The detailed analytics tool provided a real-time picture of what was happening on the ground, and management were able to pivot quickly. They changed rosters to better reflect staffing requirements, while actively reintroducing telehealth consults through their own innovative telehealth app, CMxConnect (then AHGP).

“Clinimetrix has given us the ability to be agile and responsive, to adapt the practices to thrive, particularly whilst navigating the clinical challenges presented by COVID-19,” Ian Lowe, CEO, CMH Practice Management.

What is Clinimetrix?

Clinimetrix is the most complete analytics tool available for medical practices in Australia. This detailed business intelligence platform is designed to enable practice leaders - as business owners - to understand all aspects of the practice.

Clinimetrix allows you to see revenue opportunities, understand GP billing behaviour, the value of MBS and non-MBS items, trends over time, year on year comparisons and more.

The intelligence tool also aids in the clinical management of patients. At a clinical level, it offers pathology and prescription tracking – as well as diagnostic filters for patients to allow you to improve every aspect of chronic disease management and preventative health.

Critical data connecting patients to better health outcomes

Even in remote and regional health, quick and instant access to critical patient information allows practitioners today to better manage patients’ conditions and provide improved patient care. More so, it’s something patients – consistent with the digital age they are living in - are beginning to demand of their medical practices.

It’s been driven by the shift to digital health records, the rise of proactive healthcare, and the notion of a “data-driven physician”. And as modern technology continues to enrich the healthcare sector, we should see healthcare providers’ performance improve as well as their patients’ health outcomes.

Utilising the data for your financial and clinical success

It’s one thing to have access to the data, another to interpret and respond to it accordingly. This is why Clinimetrix has partnered with RSM, a world-leading provider of auditing, tax and finance consultation services.

RSM’s expert medical specialists can provide a review of a practice’s current systems and processes, identify the challenges and the opportunities, and then work with the medical centre’s management team to improve efficiencies and productivity across all areas of the business.

This better enhances both the financial and clinical aspects of medical practices by leveraging the real-time data Clinimetrix delivers.

Clinimetrix makes collaborative analytics possible

With collaborative analytics, the data becomes even more valuable. Collaborative analytics is the discovery, creation, sharing and use of data assets. It’s managing business intelligence from a community-driven perspective, and is forecast as the most efficient direction to move in.

We all know that big data in healthcare could fulfill several purposes, and efforts made to simplify the use of this information could have significant economical impacts on the healthcare system. It could improve the competency of healthcare teams, and in turn, considerably improve our patients’ outcomes.
