Today's clinic metrics
Once you have logged into Cubiko, navigate to Clinic Insights. From there, select the cabinet Today’s Clinic Metrics.
In this area, you will see a range of different metrics that are looking at the day ahead. Key metrics to focus on here are:
- Possible service opportunities today:
See a list of patients who are coming in for an appointment for the current day who may be eligible to have certain service item numbers such as Health Assessments, GPMPs, and vaccines completed. You can filter this list to provide the details to your individual Practitioners. - Recalls:
Gain a better understanding of your practice's recalls by seeing how many recalls are outstanding, breaking these recalls down by category type, and investigating how old these recalls are. These insights will give you an indicator of the performance of both your Practitioners and nursing team and how quickly the recalls are being followed up. Please note that we have excluded records where the test results were returned to the practice more than two years prior. - Recall appointments to rebook:
Check patients who did not attend a recall appointment type, and do not have a subsequent appointment booked or completed in the diary. - Overdue reminders:
Use this list to follow up on reminders, and also understand what portion of your reminders on this list are overdue and have not been marked as completed.
Item optimisation
Once you have logged into Cubiko, navigate to Clinic Optimisation. From there, select the cabinet Item Optimisation.
You will see different metrics here, highlighting the number of patients that may be eligible for a variety of item numbers including Health Assessments and Chronic Disease Management items.
Follow our training video above and also review our Knowledge Base articles on Item Optimisation here.
Also see our resource on exporting the patient list to a .CSV file which can be used by third-party software applications that integrate with your Practice Management Software, to enable sending of SMS to these patients: How to export a .CSV file from Cubiko.
Vaccination support: Covid-19 vaccine
The Vaccination support: COVID-19 vaccine cabinet provides metrics to help you deliver the COVID-19 vaccine to your community based on the current eligibility as advised by the Government.
To navigate to this cabinet, go to Clinic Optimisation > Vaccination support: COVID-19 vaccine.
Review the list of patients who may be eligible to receive a COVID-19 booster vaccination, and do not have an appointment booked. The use of these metrics is dependent on setting up your COVID-19 appointment types in Cubiko Settings.
In an effort to help practices manage stock and plan ahead, we’ve added a tab to our COVID-19 vaccination support cabinet called Upcoming appointments.
You can now see a list of all your upcoming vaccination appointments over the next 4 weeks. Utilise this data to manage your stock, schedule staff, and easily see how many appointments you have left available for vaccine bookings.
Please review our full knowledge base article on the Vaccination support: Covid-19 cabinet here.
Vaccination support: Flu vaccine
The Vaccination Support: Flu vaccine cabinet contains metrics to support your practice to deliver the influenza vaccination in your practice to your patients.
To navigate to this cabinet, go to Clinic Optimisation > Vaccination support: Flu vaccine.
If you need to increase attendance in your flu vaccine clinics, this table provides a list of patients who are eligible to receive the Government-funded flu vaccine, as per the National Immunisation Program guidelines. Check 'Exclude Covax appts' or 'Exclude flu vax appts' in the sidebar to remove those patients whose next appointment is either for a COVID-19 vaccination or Flu vaccination.
In an effort to help practices manage stock and plan ahead, we’ve added a tab to our Flu vaccine - vaccination support cabinet called Upcoming appointments.
