Improvement Foundation establishes operations in Australia
Improvement Foundation (Australia) Ltd is pleased to announce its establishment in Australia with a qualified and experienced team, based in Adelaide, to deliver a range of quality improvement services and programs.
As a not-for-profit organisation the Improvement Foundation (Australia) will focus on the Asia-Pacific hub to promote the collaborative methodology and other quality improvement tools to deliver rapid, systematic and sustainable improvement in the quality of health care and other community services.
The Australian company was formed by the UK Improvement Foundation following its success with the Australian Primary Care Collaboratives Program, to which the UK Improvement Foundation provided significant support and intellectual property.
The Improvement Foundation (Australia) has begun working with the Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (OATSIH) in implementing the Continuous Quality Improvement Initiative which provides an excellent opportunity for Indigenous health organisations to achieve, embed and sustain a culture of continuous quality improvement. Improvement Foundation (Australia) is also working with divisions of general practice providing quality improvement training workshops.
