“…Fellow practitioners have an ethical duty and sometimes a legal mandate 16 to report risks to patient safety. However, multiple major inquires have revealed hesitance among practitioners to act on warning signs of unsafe care by colleagues 17,18 . In our study, fewer than 10% of all performance notifications were lodged by fellow practitioners.…”

The aim of the study was to describe the sources of notifications of concern ("notifications") regarding the health, performance, and conduct of health practitioners from 14 registered professions in Australia.Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 43,256 notifications lodged with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and the Health Professional Councils Authority between 2011 and 2016. We used descriptive statistical analysis to describe the characteristics of these notifications, including their source, issue and domain, and subject.Results: Patients and their relatives lodged more than three-quarters (78%) of notifications regarding clinical performance, including diagnosis, treatment, and communication. Fellow practitioners were a common source of notifications about advertising and titles. Self-reports commonly related to health impairments, such as mental illness or substance use. Other agencies played a role in reporting concerns about prescribing or supply of medicines.Conclusions: Various actors in the healthcare system play different roles in sketching the picture of healthcare quality and safety that notifications present to regulators. Improved understanding of which sources are most likely to raise which concerns may enhance regulators' ability to identify and respond to patient safety risks.

“…Countries across the globe have a growing burden of chronic disease ascribed to aging populations, and health system performance and sustainability are high on the agenda of their health leaders. Consequently, high performing hospitals and health systems are important for consumers, funders, policymakers, health service managers, politicians and for the clinicians expected to deliver an increasing volume and complexity of services (Duckett et al, 2014; Duckett and Willcox, 2015).…”

Background: Despite agreement among policymakers, funders, consumers and researchers about the value of public reporting of health information, limited attention has been paid to how it can be used to understand the performance of rural hospitals. Objective: To determine whether publicly available information can be used to measure health service performance in a rural hospital. Method: The study used performance data routinely reported for public consumption in Australia. Data across four domains, multiple measures and time periods were collected to examine access and equity; efficiency and sustainability; quality, safety and patient orientation; and employee engagement. Performance of the rural hospital was examined using a visualisation tool. Results: Visualisation of multiple measures of performance over time was achievable but required a high degree of health information management skills. Conclusion and implications: Publicly reported data can be used to represent performance for a rural hospital. Timeliness, level of detail available and peer groupings of data limits optimal utility. Consumers, clinicians and health service managers wanting to understand the performance of rural hospitals will need to use significant health information management skills to gain a picture of performance. Further research in the applied use of publicly available performance data and relevant dashboards for rural hospitals is suggested.
