Installation of Primary Sense on Best Practice Servers

Best Practice Technical Information

The Gold Coast Primary Health Network (GCPHN) designed the Primary Sense Population Management and clinical audit tool. It creates reports for GPs, nurses, and practice managers to deliver evidence-based optimised care. More information on the use of Primary Sense can be found on their website.

The Primary Sense server software allows your practice to gain access to the Primary Sense software utilities. This needs to be installed on the server used within your medical practice. After this installation, each workstation in your medical practice will be able to access Primary Sense via a separate Primary Sense desktop application.
