For Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) Week Prince of Wales Private Hospital held an internal competition to guess the number of sweets contained within a jar. There were 44 entries, and congratulations to Riya & the team in DOSS for winning (by having the closest guess). The goal for the week was to generate a greater awareness of the importance of comprehensive and accurate clinical documentation in healthcare. Clinical documentation is the backbone of effective patient care, ensuring that healthcare professionals have the information they need to provide timely, accurate, and safe care. By focusing and improving clinical documentations you can; - improve patient safety, - enhance communication between doctors and health providers, - provide legal assurance, - ensure accurate billing and coding, - and possibly support further research, public health services, or other quality improvement projects. The underlying takeaway for 2024 was “BE SPECIFIC” – reminding all clinical staff to ensure that all treatments, orders, medications are linked to a diagnosis. #CDIWeek2024 #CDI #ClinicalDocumentation #BeSpecific #PrinceofWalesPrivate #POWP Clinical Documentation Improvement Australia

In AIPC-2024 it's a great opportunity to meet the eminent speakers who have the knowledge and experience in implementing and promoting collaborative education and practice in healthcare. IPE (Interprofessional Education) and IPP (Interprofessional Practice) are concepts in healthcare that aim to improve collaboration and teamwork among healthcare professionals. IPE involves bringing together students or practitioners from different healthcare disciplines to learn with, from, and about each other. It promotes effective communication, teamwork, and mutual respect. IPP, on the other hand, is the actual collaborative practice of healthcare professionals from different disciplines. It involves the active participation and cooperation of multiple professionals in assessing, planning, delivering, and evaluating patient care. IPE and IPP are essential for breaking down professional silos, addressing the complexity of healthcare, and providing holistic and patient-centered care.
