About CAT

The PCS Clinical Audit Tool (CAT) is a population reporting enhancement to the leading GP Clinical Desktop Systems in Australian general practice, CAT allows practice staff to look at their data in new ways for the achievement of best practice and data quality while optimising the financial opportunities for GPs and the Practice.

CAT scrutinises the aggregated patient information of the practice and presents it quickly and accurately in a refreshing graphical format that is easy to understand.

Practice staff can produce a list of patients who fall into selected population ‘target groups’ making population health and quality care initiatives simple to act upon and measure. Business opportunities can be identified.

Using worlds-best graphics, CAT is simple to use, seamless to implement and is a highly effective tool in improving patient population and business outcomes. Within minutes of installing the system it is ready to deliver for your practice. CAT operates with the GP Clinical Desktop System (currently Zedmed, MD3, MD2, Best Practice & Genie Solutions) to present the GP and practice staff with meaningful information on the practice population.

Divisions of General Practice will also benefit from CAT as a tool to measure, aggregate and improve NPI data. In addition, CAT provides the flexibility to report, measure and improve outcomes across the wide range of programs driven by Divisions of General Practice throughout Australia.

CAT can answer your practice population questions with just the click of a mouse!
