The field known as Practice Analytics seeks to transform routinely collected data to provide clinicians with a bird’s eye view of their case load and performance. Medical and administrative records aren’t collected for this purpose, and it is time consuming to audit them to get better metrics on a team’s performance. And while bigger registries to exist they’re too coarse to give a clinician personal feedback on their own 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 dreaded new requirements for CPD imposed by the medical boards.
