Introduction to the Australian Atlas of Healthcare Variation Series - Conjoint Professor Anne Duggan
This presentation examines the Australian Atlas of Healthcare Variation series and how you can use data from the Atlases to investigate whether patients in your health service are receiving the care they need, and identify opportunities to improve outcomes for your patients.
Quality statements
A number of the indicators recommended in the standard are specified for collection through a point prevalence survey of patients with a PIVC in situ.
This issue includes items on COVID-19, residential aged care, ‘never events’, peer support for health care workers, and more.
Also covered is the latest issue of Healthcare Quarterly, along with the latest online papers from BMJ Quality & Safety and International Journal for Quality in Health Care and the latest from the UK’s NICE and NIHR and the USA’s AHRQ.
In this presentation learn what healthcare variation is, and, given so many competing demands in healthcare delivery, why it is important. Hear from Conjoint Professor Anne Duggan as she makes the case for examining and understanding healthcare variation.
