The Commission has developed a range of infographics to help explain the key findings of the atlas for Primary Health Networks, hospitals, health services, clinicians and consumers.

On Monday 30 September 2013, Professor Sir Muir Gray spoke in Sydney at a public lecture focusing on health reform and medical practice variation. 

Frequently asked questions regarding healthcare variation, the atlas data and how the atlas was developed.

This issue includes items on the NHMRC’s Good institutional practice guide, just culture, evidence-informed decision-making, medication safety, maternity and neonatal care, and more. Along with the latest from BMJ Quality & Safety and International Journal for Quality in Health Care and the USA’s AHRQ.

The Public Summary Report contains a summary of the outcomes of the Reduction in Radiation Exposure to Children from Computed Tomography Scans (RIRECCTs) Project.
