Australia RACGP Standards for After-hours and Medical Deputising Services (5th edition) QI1.3: Improving clinical care: the team codes clinical information with a nationally recognised medical vocabulary, and the service uses its patient and service data to improve clinical services

What does QI1.3 require?

Data helps only when coded consistently. Clinicians record diagnoses and reasons for visit using the coded terms in the clinical software, which draw on a nationally recognised vocabulary such as DOCLE, ICPC or SNOMED CT, rather than free text alone, so searches and audits are reliable. The service then interrogates its data, for example on presentations by time and area, antibiotic prescribing, hospital referrals and report turnaround, to find gaps and runs improvement activities to close them.
