- A Safety and Quality Improvement Framework for Victorian Health Services

Page content: Overview | Download document

Overview

The Victorian Quality Council (VQC) launched "Better Quality, Better Health Care, A Safety and Quality Improvement Framework for Victorian Health Services", (The Framework) in November 2003. The purpose of the Framework is to provide a strategic overview of the key principles and practices necessary for the effective monitoring, management and improvement of health services, which can be adapted and applied to individual settings.

An evaluation of the perceived usefulness of the Framework was undertaken in January 2005. This involved a survey to collect qualitative and quantitative information on: how health service staff with responsibility for safety and quality have used and adapted the Framework in different settings, and how useful they have found it as a safety and quality improvement tool. The survey was sent to the quality managers of 87 Victorian health services.
