An IMH led multidisciplinary team from the University of Sydney, Sydney Local Health District and Qlik have developed a clinical care dashboard known as the STARS Back Pain App. This dashboard captures routinely collected data of patients presenting with low back pain at three large public hospitals in Sydney, Australia using Qlik Sense, a business intelligence software. The app allows analysis of low back pain presentations to describe current care practices and explore factors associated with the quality of care. It also allows near real-time clinical feedback on clinical performance in the management on low back pain presentations.

 

Investigators: Dr Gustavo Machado (IMH), Dr Bethan Richards (IMH), Dr Chris Needs (Royal Prince Alfred Hospital), Hannah Storey (Sydney Local Health District), Professor Chris Maher (IMH).
