Implementing Quality Indicators: Moving from Theory into Practice - Sydney

Published: 27 May 2009

A national priority area for improving safety and quality in health care is better use of data to identify, learn from and prevent errors and system failure. The Council of Australian Governments has recently endorsed collection and reporting of performance indicators in the National Healthcare Agreement. Measurement is now an integral part of healthcare delivery. Quality indicators should represent strategically placed probes into the health system to assess how well a service or an individual is performing. They should be regarded as tools to be used as part of an overall strategy to drive quality improvement.

This seminar will provide delegates with practical experiences from those who have implemented quality indicators in their institution or specialty area. It is designed to provide advice and guidance by sharing lessons learned from those who have used them to effectively introduce change and improve service delivery.

Time: 9 am to 4.40 pm
Date: Thursday 11 June, 2009
Venue: Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney
