This report sets out recommendations for a set of 55 national indicators of safety and quality of clinical care provided to patients across the Australian health care system. Thirteen indicators apply to primary and community health services, 25 to hospitals, six to specialised health services, and five to residential aged care. Eleven indicators apply to multiple or all types of health services.
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare suggests that public reporting on these indicators could serve two main purposes: to provide transparency and to inform decision-making about overall priorities and system-level strategies for safety and quality improvement; and to inform quality improvement activities of service providers. The indicators cover the national health priority areas and major burden of disease and injury groups. Download here for free.
