Mini audits supporting improvement across primary care

A new quality improvement initiative has been added to the PHASES program to strengthen patient care through focused mini audits and audit activities. Developed to support continuous improvement in clinical practice, the Mini Audit and Audit Activity provides a simple, structured approach for practices to review their data, identify opportunities for improvement and track progress over […]

Funded by the Queensland Health Clinical Research Fellowship, the PHASES Linkage project connects general practice cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk data with hospitalisation and mortality data. This study aims to better understand how CVD risk impacts hospitalisation rates and assess the accuracy of the new CVD risk prediction equation in identifying high-risk individuals within Queensland’s population. 

The project will: 

  • Estimate the number of heart attacks and strokes that could be prevented with improved treatment for high CVD risk. 
  • Identify gaps in CVD prevention to inform future care strategies. 

Running in parallel with the PHASES project, PHASES Linkage highlights the power of data-driven insights to improve cardiovascular outcomes and reduce hospitalisations.
