Description
AROC is the rehabilitation integrated clinical outcomes and benchmarking centre for Australia and New Zealand. AROC operates in the inpatient and ambulatory settings and includes both adult and paediatric rehabilitation sectors. Coverage in the inpatient adult rehabilitation sector is almost 100%, with 289 services participating in data collection and benchmarking. A growing number of adult ambulatory rehabilitation services are also participating. All specialist paediatric rehabilitation services are participating in both the paediatric inpatient and ambulatory benchmarking initiatives.
The primary purpose of AROC is to facilitate improvement in the quality of rehabilitation and thus patient outcomes achieved. Each member of AROC collects the appropriate defined AROC dataset for each and every episode of rehabilitation care provided. The datasets include demographic, clinical, process and outcome data items. AROC receives data describing almost 150,000 episodes of rehabilitation each year. The longitudinal database currently contains 1.5 million records and is thus a rich resource that forms a spine of rehabilitation data available to underpin research in the sector.
Members of AROC receive a suite of benchmarking reports each six months, comparing the outcomes they achieve with the national data. AROC also holds regular quality forums/benchmarking workshops to present data at service level and facilitate the identification and uptake of best practice processes. As well as publishing an Annual Report describing the state of rehabilitation in each country, AROC provides a range of resources for members including decision support tools and best practice case studies.
Reporting process
- Feedback to contributing clinicians
- Shared with clinicians
- Shared with hospital executive
- Shared with consumers
- Shared with medical colleges
- Reported to state/territory health departments
- Reported in annual report
- Reported in other public reports
- Quality improvement/benchmarking workshops: The purpose of these workshops is to examine the benchmarking data, share information and learn from services who are achieving the best outcomes. Service reports: each individual rehabilitation service receives a suite of reports that presents their data and also compares this to aggregated national data.
Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)
Planning is underway to introduce a new range of PROMs in future versions of the data collection. A pilot is currently underway.
Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs)
The AM-CCRQ is an optional rehabilitation specific patient experience survey that is available for members.
