Computers in general practice: Clinical governance data quality and adoption

Abstract

This travelling fellowship allowed for me to expand he international exposure and collaboration involved in work at the local level and international. Locally as Director of Research at the Inner Eastern Melbourne Medicare Local (IEMML) I have been involved in the setting up over 5 years of a data collection and management program involving the practice of the division. Using the PDSA cycle over the time we have been taking practice through now multiple iterative cycles of data collection analysis and feedback.

We now have over a hundred practices and data on over half a million patients. Show more
