Clinical Platforms

Disease-specific clinical platforms for NHS primary care

DataMedic clinical platforms turn structured EMIS Web and SystmOne data extracts into disease-specific dashboards, actionable patient cohorts and patient-level review lists for GP practices, PCNs and ICBs.

Built around SNOMED-led clinical logic, QOF business rules, disease registers and practical NHS primary care workflows.

What it is

A structured workspace for patient-level clinical improvement

A DataMedic clinical platform is a disease-specific digital workspace that helps primary care teams understand their population, identify care gaps and act on patient-level insight. Each platform combines clinical coding, disease registers, QOF logic, pathology, prescribing and demographic data into a clear dashboard and review workflow.

Disease-specific logic

Each platform is built around the clinical rules that matter for that area, including SNOMED codes, disease registers, QOF indicators, prescribing markers, pathology results and pathway criteria.

Patient-level action

Dashboards do not stop at charts. Each insight links to actionable patient cohorts and review lists that support coding checks, recall, pharmacist review and local pathway activity.

Improvement over time

Data can be refreshed over time so teams can monitor progress, see which gaps remain and focus effort where it is most needed.

Platform structure

One platform model, consistent across every disease area

Every DataMedic clinical platform follows the same core structure, so teams know where to find overview metrics, practice-level insight, patient cohorts and full population data.

Module 1

Overview

High-level prevalence, activity and benchmark metrics for the selected disease area, with views suitable for practice, PCN and ICB-level monitoring.

  • Disease prevalence
  • Benchmark comparisons
  • Practice/PCN/ICB variation
  • Key pathway indicators
Module 2

Practice dashboard

Charts and summary metrics that help teams understand the disease population within a practice or network.

  • Risk stratification
  • Monitoring status
  • Coding and register gaps
  • Comorbidity and prescribing patterns
Module 3

Actionable insights

Focused insight sections that identify specific patient cohorts requiring review, follow-up or local action.

  • Missing or outdated monitoring
  • Patients potentially missing from registers
  • Uncontrolled clinical markers
  • Pathway opportunity cohorts
Module 4

Population table

A patient-level table containing relevant clinical, demographic, pathology and prescribing markers for the disease area.

  • Patient identifiers
  • Latest clinical values
  • Diagnosis and coding flags
  • Medication and pathology markers
Module 5

Guidance and context

Clinical context and pathway notes that help users understand why each cohort matters and how it links to local or national priorities.

  • QOF context
  • NICE/pathway references
  • Cohort rationale
  • Suggested review considerations
How it works

From clinical system extracts to patient review lists

Step 1

Extract

Practices run structured searches or exports from EMIS Web or SystmOne using agreed data specifications.

Step 2

Transform

DataMedic applies SNOMED-led definitions, clinical marker logic, QOF rules and pathway-specific criteria.

Step 3

Prioritise

Patients are grouped into meaningful cohorts such as missing coding, overdue monitoring, uncontrolled risk or review opportunity.

Step 4

Act and measure

Teams use patient-level review lists to support local action, then refresh data to monitor progress and remaining gaps.

DataMedic supports clinical review and operational prioritisation. It does not replace clinician judgement or automatically update patient records.

Platform examples

Built for multiple clinical priorities

The same platform model can be applied across different disease and therapy areas, with the clinical content tailored to each pathway.

Who it supports

Designed for practice, PCN and ICB workflows

For GP practices

Identify patients who are missing from registers, overdue for monitoring, uncontrolled against targets or suitable for structured review.

For PCNs

Coordinate delivery across member practices, compare variation, support DES/QOF priorities and manage pathway work at network level.

For ICBs

Understand population-level need, variation, inequalities and pathway gaps across primary care, supporting commissioning and improvement planning.

For industry-supported programmes

Clinical platforms can also support NHS-facing pathway improvement programmes funded or supported by responsible life sciences partners, subject to appropriate governance and local approval.

Why DataMedic

Clinical knowledge and technical delivery in one platform partner

DataMedic is designed for the realities of NHS primary care data, not generic business intelligence.

Clinical understanding

We understand primary care pathways, long-term condition management, QOF, coding and the practical pressures faced by GP teams.

EMIS Web and SystmOne knowledge

Platforms are designed around the structured extract workflows used by practices, rather than assuming unrealistic live integration.

SNOMED and PCD refset expertise

Cohort definitions can be built around coded clinical logic, SNOMED concepts, PCD refsets and disease-specific markers.

Patient-level workflow

The platform connects high-level dashboards to patient-level review lists and action tracking.

Scalable structure

The same model can work at practice, PCN and ICB level.

Governance-aware approach

Built with role-based access, data minimisation and information governance expectations in mind.

Build a clinical platform around your pathway priorities

Whether you want to support QOF delivery, identify care gaps, support a PCN pathway or develop an NHS-facing programme, DataMedic can help turn primary care data into structured clinical action.
