This document sets out the standards for general practices, developed by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP). The purpose of these standards is to protect patients from harm by improving the quality and safety of health services. The standards also support general practices in identifying and addressing any gaps in their systems and processes.
The indicators in this edition have, where appropriate, been written with a focus on outcomes and patients, instead of on prescribed processes or what the practice does. By focusing on outcomes, practices can develop systems and processes that reflect their preferred ways of working, and they can choose how to demonstrate that they meet the intent of each indicator.
Main sections:
· Core module
· Quality improvement module
· General practice module
· Glossary
