Gippsland PHN would like to invite all Gippsland based GPs, Registrars and Nurse Practitioners to attend this quality improvement education event.
Presenter: Wendy O’Meara – Associate Education Consultant for Larter Consulting
Quality improvement is about more than information or compliance. It relies on shared understanding, strong clinical leadership, reliable data, and practical systems that support better patient care.
This education helps practices make the most of the PIP QI Incentive by moving beyond reporting requirements to use Improvement Measures as tools for real, everyday improvement. The focus is on practical, achievable changes that support better outcomes, more efficient workflows, and stronger team‑based care.
Working closely with Gippsland PHN the program will be tailored to Gippsland practices, aligning with local priorities, regional health needs, and existing QI initiatives. A short scoping discussion will ensure the education reflects:
- Current QIM engagement across the region
- Common documentation and coding challenges
- Workforce pressures and capacity constraints
- Opportunities to align with existing initiatives
For participants, this means clearer understanding of PIP QI, increased confidence using data, and practical strategies to strengthen patient care—without adding unnecessary burden.
