What skills and experience do clinical governance or similar teams and units need to support your organisation's safety and quality agenda? In this webinar, Dr Sarah Fischer, Acting Executive Director of Safety at Safer Care Victoria, discussed the various roles and relationships to ensure fit-for-purpose teams.
Clinical tools for use in practice—such as medicine reconciliation charts, diagnosis support tools and track-and-trigger charts—are popular in health and human services. However, they are given relatively little attention to how to optimise their design.
In this Lightbulb Moment webinar, Dr Cathy Balding and her guest, Louise McKinlay (CEO, Safer Care Victoria), as they discuss Louise's "ah-ha!" moment about joining the quality dots.
How many aged care residents receive care based on the best available evidence? We all want this for the people we serve – but what’s really happening?
This ‘CareTrack’ paper reports on the first Australian study of adherence to evidence-based care for people in long-term care using a standardised method. The study examined the care received by 294 residents across 27,585 care encounters in 25 long-term care (aged care) facilities.
In this Lightbulb Moment webinar, Dr Cathy Balding interviewed Allison Patchett to discuss her "ah-ha!" moment about quality and efficiency - symbiotic or siloed?
Unwarranted variation in procedures and outcomes (a key component of appropriate care) is a major challenge in healthcare. Reducing unwarranted variation in care processes and outcomes can reduce wasteful, unnecessary or even harmful care.

For healthcare, this metaphor aligns nicely to describe the introduction of short-notice assessments.
