MEDICINEINSIGHT Using health record data to explore the provision of care in primary care Melissa Chapman BPharm MPH(PP) Clinical Product Specialist 14 October 2019

OVERVIEW Aim: To show how health record data can be used to explore general practitioners’(GPs’) management of patients with certain conditions. Use MedicineInsight data to gain insights about the use of psychological treatments for the management of anxiety by GPs.

WHAT IS MEDICINEINSIGHT? Large-scale Australian primary care data set De-identified patient data routinely extracted from the clinical information software (CIS) of participating practices Data can be used to support quality improvements Data validation in practice

HOW MEDICINEINSIGHT WORKS

MEDICINEINSIGHT REPORT A resource that…  uses practice level data to start a conversation between GPs and educational visitors  enables general practices to review and reflect on clinical activity and plan for areas of improvement  is evidence-based

ANXIETY DISORDERS Affects 2.3 million Australians Second most common mental health presentation in primary care Psychological treatments, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) are first line treatments for mild or moderate and in combination with antidepressants for severe anxiety disorders What data could help GPs understand their use of psychological treatments to manage patients with specific subtypes of anxiety disorders? Mental Health Treatment Plans (MHTP): proxy to explore psychological (non-pharmacological) treatments

PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENTS

LIMITATIONS Condition coding (coded vs free text) of anxiety symptoms/ anxiety disorder Data can not be extracted from progress notes Tick box for psychological treatments is NOT available for use in the CIS

OUTCOMES/ LEARNINGS Information about non-pharmacological management of patients with anxiety can be extracted even where data appeared to be limited. Data shows that psychological treatments are being used, and recorded in routinely collected data There may be some potential underuse for patients with anxiety:(approx.1/3 patients had a MHTP across the broad cohort of patients with anxiety symptoms) Build upon this data parameter for other condition in future programs
