Posted Friday 08 November 2024 | Australian Digital Health Agency

This 30-minute session will provide an overview of the importance of high-quality patient clinical records and practical examples of how to improve your general practice’s data quality, through an influenza immunisation quality improvement activity. This training will support practices to align their daily data habits with the PIP QI Improvement Measures relating to influenza immunisation and diagnosis data (measures 5 and 6).

This session will aim to guide General Practice administrative and clinical staff in gaining a foundational understanding of:

• the clinical risks of poor data
• the importance of coding clinical information to ensure quality diagnosis and medical history/observations data
• importance of medical terminology
• the benefits of up-to-date and accurate data within clinical software and when uploading documents to the My Health Record.
