Safety Intelligence entails providing clinically relevant data to inform safety and quality and is a key strategic priority for the NSW Clinical Excellence Commission (CEC). Safety intelligence requires a shift away from traditional approaches to data use in healthcare and focuses on:

  • Improvement rather than judgement

  • Anticipation rather than reaction

  • Curiosity rather than reporting


In NSW, safety data is provided down to clinician level through a range of CEC designed and developed safety databases. These provide an opportunity to use a safety intelligence approach to attain deeper insights regarding safety drivers, targeted drilldown analysis, report automation and predictive system monitoring.

This session will demonstrate the expanding work of safety intelligence by the CEC in NSW.
