Prioritised list of clinical domains project
The Commission implemented a process to create a prioritised list of clinical domains for potential development of national clinical quality registries.
The process used and combined the available data with the collective judgement of experts. Key steps included:
- Shortlisting to identify a manageable list of diseases, conditions and interventions based on cost to the health system, burden of disease and stakeholder priorities
- Identifying prioritisation criteria in the Framework that are essential to the successful functioning of a clinical quality registry (threshold criteria)
- Applying threshold criteria to remove diseases, conditions and interventions that are not suitable for clinical quality registry development
- Grouping remaining diseases, conditions and interventions into clinical domains
- Prioritising clinical domains against the remaining prioritisation criteria.
In 2016, the Commission undertook a project to implement and document a process, applying the prioritisation criteria and other elements (prioritisation criteria) in the Framework for Australian clinical quality registries (2014), to create a prioritised list of clinical domains for potential development of national clinical quality registries.
The prioritisation process and the prioritised list of clinical domains is provided in the report Prioritised list of clinical domains for registry development November 2016 (access below).
The Commission has commenced a process to review and update the prioritised list of clinical domains. Further information about how you can be involved will be available soon.
