Australian Atlas of Healthcare Variation Series
Patient Safety Learning posted an article in Data and insight
Mapping variation is an invaluable tool for understanding how our healthcare system is providing care. Maps of variation in care, derived from information routinely gathered by the health system, show how healthcare use differs across the country and raise important questions about why this variation might be occurring. The aim is to prompt further investigation into whether the observed variation reflects differences in people’s healthcare needs, in the informed choices they make about their treatment options, or in other factors. Each Atlas includes data, maps, graphs, clinical commentaries and recommendations for each chapter. These can be viewed or downloaded from links on the Atlas website. -
Content ArticleThis thought paper from Carl Macrae and Charles Vincent explores how healthcare systems can develop a system-wide approach to investigating and learning from the most serious patient safety issues, and examines the organisational infrastructure that is needed to support this. Many safety critical industries depend on the work of an independent, national safety investigator to investigate the most serious risks that span the system and to develop safety recommendations that target any and all organisations that need to work together to address those risks–from front-line providers to regulators. This paper defines the fundamental principles, the practical challenges and the considerable opportunities that any healthcare system must grapple with in the development of a national safety investigator that supports system-wide learning.
