The PHN may choose to apply a public health methodology to building sustainable systems and process that improve patient health outcomes. The Plan, Do, Study Act (PDSA) cycle is one example of how CAT Plus can be the backbone for practice assistance. It can be deployed through a Quality Improvement Management Framework (QIMF), and as such a PHN can target specific projects and implement them.

What exactly is the Clinical Audit Tool / CAT Tool / CAT4?
...
Practices benefit from working with the PHN by submitting the data on a monthly basis and allowing the PHN to understand the health needs of the practice and the PHN's catchment. If there are unmet needs in your practices area the PHN can use the information in an aggregated form to develop strategies to help meet this need, and develop a business case for the unmet needs in the area. The PHN is also able to notice trends that are occurring in your area. With this information practices and PHN's can work collaboratively and discuss how they can best assist the patients in their catchment.

Our practice already has Scheduler installed, why does it need to be updated?
...
Yes, practices can run the software each month and manually prepare an extract. The extract can be sent to the PHN, or provided to the PHN on a USB drive for upload. Practices should discuss this arrangement with their PHN and if it meets the contractually agreed terms.
