Quality

There are a number of ongoing quality and risk management programs at CMDHB that assist in optimising the quality and safety of care provided these include:  Credentialling and Professional Development, Evidence Based Practice, Incident and Complaint reporting and management, Sentinel Event Management, Mortality & Morbidity Review, Clinical and Quality Audit, Clinical Indicators, Accreditation, Risk Management and Community Participation.

The Quality Plan Structure detailed in the Quality & Risk Action Plan below is based upon the framework of the MoH IQ Action Plan:  Supporting the Improving Quality Approach and includes outcomes covering primary care not just the DHB provider arm.
