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.
