The new Diversion 2 report in POLAR will be used to calculate a patient’s risk of hospitalisation or emergency department presentation from 1 February.
SWSPHN provides the POLAR (POpulation Level Analysis and Reporting) clinical audit tool to eligible general practices in South Western Sydney.
Find out more about POLARReports from POLAR provide insights into patient data to help practices better understand their patient cohort.
They also enable general practices to analyse their patient data to identify gaps in patient care, track patient outcomes, build on areas of quality improvement and identify opportunities to improve practice revenue
The Hospitalisation Risk report from POLAR will be retired and replaced by the Diversion 2 report.
The Diversion 2 report calculates a patient’s risk of hospitalisation or emergency department presentation in 12 months using more data points for a more accurate score than the Hospitalisation Risk report.
