Melbourne-based GP research network Outcome Health will integrate My Health Record data into the hospital admission risk predictor tool the organisation is rolling out to practices involved in its POLAR project, in one of two digital health test beds it is leading under the Australian Digital Health Agency's $8.5 million test bed program.
It will also work on expanding the POLAR tool – it stands for POpulation Level Analysis and Reporting – to provide a new capability for GPs to visualise what has happened to a patient in a particular amount of time from within their clinical workflow.
