What do you do if your hospital CEO questions the value of clinical quality registries? In this episode of ‘Safeguarding Healthcare’, Dr David Rankin tackles the complexities of clinical quality registries with Professor Susannah Ahern from Monash University. Professor Ahern’s work informs national registry policy and practice, including the development and implementation of the National Clinical and Virtual Registry Strategy. It’s a fascinating look at how these vital tools, essential for tracking patient outcomes and improving healthcare quality, are managed and funded. Professor Ahern explains the rigorous processes behind registry data collection, the role of clinician leadership, and how these registries help hospitals deal with the evolving landscape of patient care.
