What is the Collaborative Program?
The Australian Primary Care Collaboratives Program is funded by the Commonwealth of Australia to support Australian general practices deliver systematic and sustainable improvements in the quality of primary care they provide to their patients. It focuses on three areas: the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, diabetes, and access and care redesign. The Collaborative Program is based on methodology designed originally for health care by the Institute for Health Care Improvement in Boston, Massachusetts, USA . The Improvement Foundation UK (formerly the National Primary Care Development team, NPDT), led by Sir John Oldham, adapted it for use in primary care in the UK in 2000, and has produced significant results. In the UK now, over 5,000 practices serving almost 32 million patients have taken part in the program since its inception, making it the largest primary care improvement program in the world. Our Program aims to replicate and expand on these improvements in general
