Product Stories
cdmNet is used nationwide to support care integration and coordination across thousands of GPs, allied health professionals, specialists and other healthcare providers. Here are two stories in healthcare innovation using cdmNet.
Precedence partnered with the WA Primary Health Alliance using cdmNet to drive more effective use of My Health Record by patients and healthcare providers and to improve collaboration among the members of a patient’s care team.
The WA My Health Record trial was one of four major investigations funded by the Commonwealth to help determine government policy and the national digital healthcare agenda.
In the trial, cdmNet was used to enable patients to directly access My Health Record and share this information directly with their selected care team. It also shared clinical data from the GP medical record of the patient and provided a shared workspace in which the team could closely collaborate with one another.
cdmNet greatly increased participation and effective use of My Health Record for people with chronic illness. Allied health and specialist participation in My Health Record over a single month exceeded the total registrations of these professions nationally and at a rate per registered patient of over three thousand times the existing rate.
cdmNet also used My Health Record data to generate alerts dynamically at the point of care, enabling members of the patient’s care team to avoid duplicate service provision and improve quality of care. Such use of My Health Record data has the potential to save hundreds of millions of dollars in health care costs and to reduce complications such as diabetic blindness and limb amputations.
cdmNet is being used to expand the role of pharmacists to provide families with access to convenient and timely health care, when they need it most, closer to home.
Precedence is working with the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services in a pilot program to expand the role of community pharmacies in managing people with chronic and complex conditions.
cdmNet enables pharmacists and general practitioners to work collaboratively to help consumers manage chronic diseases and medications more effectively. In accordance with a digital care plan developed by the general practitioner, pharmacists are able to provide regular dose monitoring, dose refinement, earlier intervention and prompt referral back to general practitioners for resolution of issues associated with the patient’s chronic diseases and medication.
cdmNet helps to coordinate chronic disease management between general practitioners, pharmacists and patients. It enables both pharmacists and general practitioners to communicate what actions have been taken and for pharmacists to provide an up-to-date patient medication list that is visible to the general practitioner.
