Abstract
The Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) has been involved in the development of performance measures for over 10 years. The initial aims of clinical indicator development were to:- increase the involvement of doctors in evaluation and quality improvement activities;
- create and provide useful tools for flagging potential problems and/or areas for improvement in health care;
- facilitate the collection of national data on the processes and outcomes of patient care in Australia.
