Notifications to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency: Identifying ‘hot spots’ of risk to help improve the quality and safety of healthcare

健康从业人员的表现，健康或行为方面的担忧可能会给病人带来严重的风险。然而，我们缺乏在早期阶段识别这些实践者的可靠方法。澳大利亚卫生从业人员管理机构每年收到1000份关于个别从业人员的通知。我们将使用这些数据来识别不同从业者群体中的风险“热点”，并帮助有针对性的干预措施，以支持从业者和保护患者免受伤害。

Health practitioners with performance, health or conduct concerns can present a serious risk to patients. Yet we lack reliable methods for identifying these practitioners at an early stage. Each year the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency receives 1,000s of notifications about individual practitioners. We will use this data to identify “hot spots” of risk among different groups of practitioners and help target interventions to support practitioners and protect patients from harm.
