Launch of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) eLearning module

AMSANT is pleased to announce the launch of the new CQI eLearning module, which has been created in collaboration with the Remote Area Health Corps (RAHC).

John Paterson, CEO of AMSANT said “We are proud to lead the NT CQI Strategy and to support both Aboriginal Community Controlled and NT Government Primary Health Services to provide high quality health care to Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory. This eLearning module will build skills and knowledge in CQI for NT health staff.”

The eLearning module will be hosted on the RAHC eLearning site and linked through the AMSANT CQI webpage. The RAHC modules provide free, high quality and easy-to-access education on health issues prevalent in the remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health context.

The CQI eLearning module is available to all Health Professionals (HPs) and anyone interested in remote and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health.

The CQI eLearning module introduces Health Professionals (HPs) to continuous quality improvement. It provides important information and practical strategies for improving the quality of care provided to individuals, their families and the wider community.

This eLearning module aims to:

• introduce CQI and discuss its implementation in primary health care centres and services throughout the NT
• provide a framework for improving systems of care and health outcomes
• provide information about the support and training available through the NT CQI strategy
• demonstrate how data can be used to help teams improve the quality of care they deliver.
• explore some of the tools and strategies used for implementing CQI.

This module will be a valuable resource for all team members involved in providing care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in remote communities, regional towns and urban centres.

“We are so pleased to be able to make this module available free of charge to anyone who wants to know more about the basics of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI). This module will explain the Northern Territory’s approach to supporting all Aboriginal Primary Health care services to implement CQI in their own health centres to achieve local improvement priorities” Kerry Copley – AMSANT CQI Program Coordinator Top End and Louise Patel – AMSANT CQI Program Coordinator Central Australia and the Barkly.
