Abstract:
The Australian investment in technological support for the collection and analysis of hospital data has paid off in the creation of data depositories that can be used for system and policy analysis. Yet the inquiries that would inform decision for quality and efficiency improvement are made at the operational levels where there has not been equivalent investment in developing human capacity. This article suggests strategies and methods for using standard healthcare information that is now so much more readily available.
