Part 1: Know to grow: improvement through self-assessment and learning

Improvement through learning is not new in clinical governance however as demands rise in Australian healthcare a re-emphasis on the Learning Health System is critical.

At Safer Care Victoria, we revised our Clinical Governance Framework and used this opportunity to create a novel maturity assessment model for healthcare leaders and managers. Through self-assessment and case studies they can identify how mature their systems are, learn what great looks like and use a mechanism for continual monitoring and improvement.

We want to share the journey of how this model evolved and how it can help health services improve their quality and safety systems, through learning rather than relying solely on compliance.

Part 2: Small tweaks for surgical peaks: quality improvement bundle for surgical infections

The surgical team at Queensland Children’s Hospital will show you a new concept in surgical quality improvement.

They describe how accurate data and worldwide collaboration and benchmarking can be used to improve care across any service.

It is no longer enough to just look at the “Swiss cheese” when something goes wrong. With proactive accurate data, even a biopsy of the workload is enough to effect change within an organisation.

They’ll show you how you can get involved.
