Advancing healthcare excellence is a journey, not a destination. Thus, the endeavour of standardising quality improvement by the PHN National Improvement Network Collaborative (NINCo) is an ongoing process of improvement across the primary health network.

There are many factors that contribute to healthcare excellence, including quality of care, access to care, patient experience, and organisational culture. Primary healthcare across Australia attempts to address the health of entire populations, rather than individuals by adopting programs like MyMedicare. It aims to provide high-quality care that caters to individual needs through safe, effective, timely, efficient, equitable, and accessible healthcare. Continuous quality improvement utilises the power of data to drive enhancement, implement evidence-based practices, empower the workforce, and collaborate with others thus ensuring sustainability.  By working together, we can make a difference in the lives of patients and improve the quality of care for all.

NINCo is organising the conference – Advancing Healthcare Excellence: MyMedicare, Population Health, and Data-driven Quality Improvement to address and discuss the issues and solutions for a unified approach towards continuous quality improvement across primary healthcare in Australia.

We invite you to partake in this conference and use this opportunity to know your counterparts and work collectively towards a standardised approach for quality improvement across primary healthcare in Australia.
