We are excited to have released new self-assessments in SPP for all three modules of the RACGP Standards for general practices (5th edition).
Quality and safety for health services
Quality and safety for health services
The RACGP Standards were developed by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) “with the purpose of protecting patients from harm by improving the quality and safety of health services. The Standards also support general practices in identifying and addressing any gaps in their systems and processes.”
What is involved?
What is involved?
There are three modules that make up the RACGP Standards for general practice:
- the Core module;
- the Quality Improvement module; and
- the General Practice module.
We’ve worked together with the RACGP to ensure that all of the standards, criteria and indicators (both mandatory and aspirational) in each module are presented in SPP’s self-assessments.
How do our self-assessments help?
How do our self-assessments help?
Our three new self-assessments reflect all of the detailed requirements of the RACGP Standards for general practices, as do SPP’s Standards Reports of compliance status with each module.
Health services can use the self-assessments to:
- ensure that team members understand all of the requirements of the RACGP Standards;
- monitor their current compliance status;
- maintain an up-to-date gap analysis, that identifies areas of non-compliance; and
- automatically generate a continuous quality improvement plan for the standards, at any time.
They can also assign specific responsibilities to certain team members, and prepare for general practice accreditation by linking evidence of compliance throughout the self-assessments.
Who can use the self-assessments?
Who can use the self-assessments?
Many regional and community health providers deliver a broad range of services to their community – including GP clinics, disability and aged care services, family support, and alcohol and other drug support services, to name just a few.
As a result, they may need to comply with a variety of service delivery standards. These providers can save lots of time and effort by streamlining all of their compliance work in our platform.
Already, a number of regional health services and Aboriginal health services have chosen to integrate the new RACGP self-assessments into their other standards compliance and quality improvement work in our SPP platform.
However, our self-assessments are equally helpful to any general practice, or other health service following the RACGP Standards, who wishes to access an online self-assessment platform where they can streamline their general practice accreditation compliance, quality improvement and evidence collation processes!
