Dr Dustyn Saint is a GP with a special interest in informatics, data analytics and in making life a little easier for those working under tremendous pressure in primary care. Following the fallout from the worldwide pandemic, he and his team at Primary Care IT, the organisation Dustyn and his colleague founded to share, evolve, and grow the tools and resources already embedded within their own, respective practices, jumped into action, to see what they could refine and improve – and what might be needed to support primary care staff before, during and beyond the Covid outbreak. Amongst the multitude of Covid templates and tools, the introduction of a Covid ‘hub’ space and the development of some high spec remote consultation tech, they have also introduced a data analytics tool, to assist general practice leaders in not only staying on top of their financial targets and income streams, but enabling more proactive and strategic decision-making, as a result of presenting a more detailed insight into their income patterns, and those of others. Here, Dustyn touches on the Primary Care IT journey since Covid hit, and why he believes the OneAnalytics tool can really make a difference.   Introduction (19 secs) Primary Care IT (26 secs) Dustyn’s journey (the link to his first Ockham podcast episode) (1 min 8 secs) The impact of Covid on the primary care digital agenda (1 min 19 secs) Covid templates and tools on offer (1 min 51 secs) The Covid Hub (2 mins 25 secs) Remote consultations and long-term condition reviews (3 mins 33 secs) The practice income data analytics tool (4 mins 41 secs) Where does the income data originate from, and can we access this too?
