Building Primary Care Quality, Performance and Sustainability via Research Co-Creation

This CRE, incorporating the clinical microsystem approach, will investigate improved models in regional governance and e-health, effective multidisciplinary teamwork, and primary care performance and accountability.

  1. Expand and embed the Primary Care Practice Improvement Tool (PC-PIT) into existing quality improvement frameworks.
  2. Trial developed governance framework with Medicare locals/new Primary Health Networks and other health organisations.
  3. Extend research on postpartum Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) care.
