The Aboriginal health promotion and chronic care partnership (AHPACC) continuous quality improvement (CQI) tool (2011)

Description

This tool kit is intended to support planning and prioritising of activity by AHPACC partnerships and may also assist other organisations and partnerships implementing Aboriginal health programs.

Organisations and consortia should use this tool to guide their work by:

• assessing how well they meet each statement by scoring themselves on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 does not meet the criteria, and 5 fully meets the criteria
• justifying their assessment by noting evidence which exists to support the assessment
• identifying areas for improved practice, and then prioritising areas identified at the end of the tool.
  

It is recommended the completion of the tool be done in partnership with other agencies however, it may also be completed by an individual agency. Completion of the tool should be led by a manager. Involvement of direct service staff is highly valuable in a CQI process however, the tool should not be completed by an individual staff member alone.
