A Sydney study has shown that the use of structured data quality reports (SDQR) along with feedback sessions can improve the quality of routinely collected data in general practice electronic health records, although the improvements didn't quite meet targets set by the RACGP.
The study, conducted by Jane Taggart, Siaw-Teng Liaw and Hairong Yu of the Centre for Primary Health Care & Equity at the University of NSW, looked at four general practices in south-western Sydney over a 12-month period, with feedback sessions conducted at four, eight and 12 months with practice principals and practice managers.
