PAT2CAT Filters

This latest addition to CAT Plus is designed to assist PHNs and other organisations using PAT CAT to work with primary health care staff. This new functionality enables custom filters based on the existing filters and reports in PAT CAT to be created and sent to selected practices. Population health findings in PAT CAT based on de-identified data are used to provide clinicians with lists of patients matching the criteria and thus enable ongoing quality improvement. The PAT2CAT filters can also be used as a source for Topbar Prompts and Recall CAT - SMS and Voice Messaging for CAT4

Using PAT CAT find de-identified patient cohorts whose care can be improved can now be combined with practice level data. Once a new custom filter has been created and send to a CAT4 user it can be used just like any other filter. For full details see here: PAT2CAT Custom Filters in CAT4.
