Welcome to Issue 180 of GP Research Review.

CLINICAL UPDATE - IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ - Microbiology Testing Requests Reduction - September 2021

28/9/2021

 
As you will be aware, COVID-19 wastewater testing in Tauranga from 23rd September has produced a positive signal, and extended wastewater testing in the region will occur in the next couple of days to clarify the situation. As a result, we are expecting a large surge in COVID PCR test numbers over the next few days.

Prostate Cancer Quality Improvement Monitoring Report now available

22/9/2021

 
Tēnā koutou katoa
 
The Prostate Cancer Quality Improvement Monitoring Report is now available on the Te Aho o Te Kahu website (and attached).
As you will be aware, there are around 4,000 new cases of prostate cancer each year and 695 deaths.  Prostate cancer has a higher impact on Māori than other ethnicities with significant economic costs for treatment services and care. 
 
As part of our ongoing work to improve outcomes for cancer patients Te Aho o Te Kahu, together with the National Urology Cancer Working Group, has developed this quality improvement monitoring report for prostate cancer.
continued...

 

The report provides national and DHB level data across indicators that have been chosen because they are considered clinically important to patient care. The indicators will inform quality improvement actions by enabling each DHB to identify unwarranted variation when compared to other DHBs and provide a baseline for future monitoring.
 
The indicator results have been presented in tables and graphs along with commentary about why these measures are important.  We have commented on variation between DHBs and where possible we have provided international comparisons. 
 
Data from the Ministry of Health’s National Collections have been used to calculate the indicators.  This has identified areas where improvements to the data collections are required and projects are underway to address these gaps.
 
This is the third such report: the bowel and lung quality improvement monitoring reports can also be found on our website.
 
Please feel free to share this report with your stakeholders or other interested people.

Pancreatic Quality Performance Indicators consultation period now extended until 15 October 2021

17/9/2021

 
Tēnā koutou katoa
 
With COVID-19 once again impacting life in Aotearoa I would like to thank each of you, and the wider sector, for your unwavering focus on caring for whānau living with cancer.
 
I realise many of you will have been busy keeping your patients and their families safe at all Alert Levels and may not have had the time to provide feedback on our pancreatic quality performances indicators.
continued...
We have made the decision to keep the consultation open for another two weeks, now closing 15 October 2021. 
 
Here is a recap on how you can provide feedback:
 
  • The Pancreatic Cancer Potential Quality Performance Indicator Descriptions Report is available on our website, and attached, for consultation.
  • We are inviting all clinicians, people delivering pancreatic cancer care and people involved in pancreatic cancer services to give feedback on the proposed set of potential pancreatic cancer QPIs.  Please distribute as appropriate within your organisation.
 
  • To provide feedback on the proposed pancreatic cancer quality performance indicators there is a feedback form on the consultations page, on our website.
 
  • If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us on pancreaticqpiconsultation@teaho.govt.nz.

Thank you for all you are doing and we look forward to receiving your feedback soon.

HiNZ- Nursing Informatics & Midwifery Newsletter September 2021

16/9/2021

 
Message from the chair of HiNZ-NMILately I have been thinking about leadership in Nursing and Midwifery informatics. Whilst we don’t seem to have many formal nursing informatics leadership roles, we certainly have leaders in this field in Aotearoa. But the question is, do we just need leaders, who will show us the way in developing a nursing and midwifery cohort that is competent in informatics, or do we need people in formal leadership positions for this? My perspective is that we need both. This issue highlights a number of informatics leaders in our midst.
