Enhanced real-time decision support for General Practice
In September 2023, Country to Coast, QLD introduced Primary Sense, a cutting-edge tool designed to support general practice to enhance the quality of patient care in our region.
More than 130 Practices have registered so far, if you're yet to sign up we invite your practice to fill out the Primary Sense registration form and start your Primary Sense journey.
CCQ is working diligently to improve healthcare for both general practices and their patients. Primary Sense is a population health management and clinical decision support tool that provides real-time clinical decision support for general practitioners at the point of care.
It leverages the world-renowned Johns Hopkins University ACG® System to identify at-risk patients, making it a leading population health analytics software. Primary Sense also supports data reporting to meet general practice PIP QI compliance requirements.
