Description

MedicineInsight operates within the SQIS program area after the transition to the Commission in January 2023 when the Commission became the custodian of a range of Quality Use of Medicines (QUM) functions.

The Commission promotes QUM stewardship by collecting data and reporting on the quality use of medicines, developing national guidance, and generating cross sector engagement on the appropriate use of therapeutics, diagnostics and pathology.

MedicineInsight is a quality improvement program which allows general practitioners to reflect on their own patterns of prescribing and patient care and compare these with other GPs in their practice.

Participating practices are offered customised quality improvement recommendations that support alignment with best practice and identify key areas for improvement which benefit patients.

Undertake project management activities including input into project planning and documentation; assistance with implementation; monitoring and reporting on progress, identifying problems and proposing possible solutions.
