The Clinical Excellence Commission provides a range of tools and resources to support NSW Health staff to improve the quality of care for our patients. The tools and resources include graphs, charts, diagrams and mapping tools designed to help you plot the data around your intended quality improvement initiative. By using these tools and resources throughout your Quality Improvement initiative, you and your team can gain a better
understanding of the underlying problems that are causing the issue, gain insight as to how best to go about the improvement and develop an effective strategy to complete your project. Each tool includes background information and instructions on how and when it should be used. Accompanying templates (Excel or PowerPoint) have been developed and are available for staff to download and use with their own data. Links to instructional videos have also been included for most tools, to further
assist in the explanation of the resource. We welcome your feedback on the usefulness and relevance of the individual tools. If you have any ideas or suggestions on how we can improve these resources, please take a moment to complete the evaluation survey found at the bottom of each of the individual tools' page. If you are after additional information or tools, please email the CEC Academy Staff. What you will learn
Skills you will gainAbout this SpecializationPreventable patient harms, including medical errors and healthcare-associated complications, are a global public health threat. Moreover, patients frequently do not receive treatments and interventions known to improve their outcomes. These shortcomings typically result not from individual clinicians’ mistakes, but from systemic problems -- communication breakdowns, poor teamwork, and poorly designed care processes, to name a few. The Patient Safety & Quality Leadership Specialization covers the concepts and methodologies used in process improvement within healthcare. Successful participants will develop a system’s view of safety and quality challenges and will learn strategies for improving culture, enhancing teamwork, managing change and measuring success. They will also lead all aspects of a patient safety and/or quality improvement project, applying the methods described over the seven courses in the specialization. Learners will use real-world strategies, tools, and techniques to resolve various patient safety and quality issues based on authentic scenarios that occur in medical and clinical settings. They will also be required to leverage cross-disciplinary concepts to successfully address patient safety concerns. Shareable Certificate Earn a Certificate upon completion

Flexible Schedule Set and maintain flexible deadlines. Approximately 8 months to complete Suggested pace of 2 hours/week Research shows that when patients are engaged in their healthcare, it can lead to measurable improvements in safety and quality. To promote stronger engagement, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a guide to help patients, families, and health professionals in primary care settings
work together as partners to improve care. The Guide to Improving Patient Safety in Primary Care Settings by Engaging Patients and Families (the Guide) is a resource to help primary care practices partner with patients and their families to improve patient safety. The Guide is composed of materials and resources to help primary care practices implement patient and family engagement to improve patient safety. Breakdowns in
patient safety in primary care are real. An environmental scan on the topic identified several key threats to patient safety amenable to improvement through patient and family engagement. Errors in diagnosis, breakdowns in communication, unsafe medication practices, and fragmentation of care all contributed to poor patient safety in primary care settings.
Patient and family engagement in primary care helps forge trusting relationships that promote safety. The Guide is composed of materials and tools to support adoption of patient and family engagement into practice. Ready to start? Need help
