One21seventy CQI tools
The clinical audit tools reflect best practice and allow health centres to collect the data they need for reporting against jurisdictional key performance indicators. These tools are reviewed and updated regularly to ensure that they reflect current best practice and that their performance is upgraded. Each audit tool has an accompanying protocol, which provides both a detailed step-by-step guide to the use of the tool and a guide to the evidence base for the tool. One21seventy convenes a working group to develop and review each audit tool and its associated protocol.
The clinical audit tools include:
- Vascular and metabolic syndrome management for type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure, chronic kidney disease and hypertension.
- Maternal health;
- Child health;
- Preventive health; and
- Acute rheumatic fever/ rheumatic heart disease
- Mental health
Other audit tools under development include:
- community-based health promotion
Used to collect information about the state of the health centre’s systems that are required to support good clinical care. The types of systems assessed include delivery systems design, information systems and decision support, and self-management support.
The Health Centre and Community Survey is designed to collect information on the operating environment of each local health centre, such as its location, population size, and governance arrangements.
The One21seventy online system brings together all the different parts of the One21seventy cycle. It provides:
- access to audit tools, the web-based information system for data input, immediate data analysis and reporting, and access to training resources;
- data input for HCCS data, systems assessment data, audit data and health centre goals, and reporting functions;
- reports, such as cross-health centre/jurisdiction comparisons for those health centres consenting to participate in pooled, and de-identified data analyses and trends over time; and
- access to a range of other resources, including documents and links to the evidence base underlying the audit tools.
