General practices are navigating multiple priorities from health reform, from funded Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) projects and PIP QI requirements, to accreditation and population health initiatives.
Quality Quest brings these together under one, supportive framework, helping practices to focus on meaningful improvement without duplication or added burden.
Quality Quest is not a new program.
It is a way of connecting existing funded activities, practice data, and PIP QI measures into a coordinated, team-based approach to quality improvement.
Aligning funded CQI activities under Quality Quest
NQPHN supports a range of funded CQI activities, including PHASES (Preventing Heart Attacks and Stroke Events through Surveillance), Cancer Screening CQI, and Immunisation CQI.
Rather than treating each activity as a standalone project, Quality Quest frames funded CQI work as part of your practice priorities and PIP QI requirements.
1. PHASES: Prevention and cardiovascular quality improvement
The PHASES program focuses on prevention of heart attack and stroke through structured quality improvement.
Within Quality Quest, PHASES is positioned as a targeted CQI opportunity that aligns with practice data and Primary Sense insights.
Quality Quest ensures PHASES activities are clearly linked to other QI activity happening in the practice rather than sitting alongside it.

2. Quality Quest and GoShare: Turning quality improvement plans into action
Quality improvement is most effective when insight leads to action.
Quality Quest brings together data, funded CQI activities and practical tools to support meaningful improvement in general practice – and GoShare plays a key role in helping practices act on their quality improvement priorities.
Under the Quality Quest banner, GoShare is positioned as a practical delivery tool that supports recall, reminders and patient engagement activities aligned with funded CQI programs and PIP QI Quality Improvement measures.
3. Cancer Screening CQI
Cancer Screening CQI activities focus on improving participation in national screening programs, including bowel and cervical screening.
Within Quality Quest, GoShare is used to support targeted recall and reminder strategies for eligible patients identified through practice data.

4. Immunisation CQI: Enabling recall and reminder workflows
Immunisation CQI is another key focus area supported through Quality Quest.
GoShare enables practices to implement recall and reminder workflows that align with immunisation priorities and preventive health goals.
This practical use of GoShare helps embed immunisation improvement into routine practice systems rather than ad‑hoc activity.
