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

有绩效、健康或行为问题的健康从业者可能会给患者带来严重风险。然而，我们缺乏可靠的方法来在早期阶段识别这些从业者。澳大利亚卫生从业者监管机构每年都会收到1000多份关于个人从业者的通知。我们将使用这些数据来确定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来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.
