QUALITY ACCREDITATION
Health and medical services delivered from the Hub are accredited by QUALITY PRACTICE ACCREDITATION (QPA).
QPA is a specialist in the accreditation of rural and remote practices. Rural and remote health services must operate to a much higher standard compared to practices in metropolitan areas. That is why the Foundation has chosen to use the QPA accreditation service, so we can assure our patients and communities that our services are accredited to meet the needs of rural and remote people.
Health practice accreditation is an assessment process that ensures a practice meets a high standard of safety and quality. As a result, accreditation provides the best environment for patient’s healthcare outcomes.
Achieving general practice accreditation is an accomplishment we are extremely proud of achieving.
Obtaining general practice accreditation with QPA provides acknowledgment that a practice has reached a high standard of safety and quality in their practice, while demonstrating a commitment to sustainable and effective quality improvement processes and initiatives.
Accreditation across the primary care sector has been developed as a means of patient protection, harm minimisation and risk management. It also ensures general practitioners and their teams, are working in a safe and quality-focused environment to deliver optimal care.
