Design and architecture of the CARA infrastructure for visualising and benchmarking patient data from general practice.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Collaborate, Analyse, Research and Audit (CARA) project set out to provide an infrastructure to enable Irish general practitioners (GPs) to use their routinely collected patient management software (PMS) data to better understand their patient population, disease management and prescribing through data dashboards. This paper explains the design and development of the CARA infrastructure.

Methods

The first exemplar dashboard was developed with GPs and focused on antibiotic prescribing to develop and showcase the proposed infrastructure. The data integration process involved extracting, loading and transforming de-identified patient data into data models which connect to the interactive dashboards for GPs to visualise, compare and audit their data.
