Using deidentified General Practice data extracted through our POLAR system, we are collaborating with Macquarie University and four Primary Health Networks (Eastern Melbourne PHN, South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network, Central and Eastern Sydney PHN, and South Western Sydney PHN) in an Australian-first research initiative, with the Digital Health CRC.

The project will focus on the identification and prevalence of Long COVID in primary care, and how this can be best managed in general practice. It extends a collaborative partnership with Macquarie Uni addressing COVID-19.

Outcome Health is dedicated to the better health outcomes of our community, and we are proud to utilise our comprehensive data platform for projects aiming to further understand and respond to one of the most devastating health crises of our generation.
