CQR Collaboration Hub
Under the leadership or Professor Ahern, the team successfully applied for funding to deliver a number of registry related strategic projects. For more information, please contact med-clinicalregistries@monash.edu.
1. Best practice PROMs reporting
Developing resources to help clinicians and stakeholders to better analyse, interpret and apply patient reported outcomes data, which forms part of Strategy Pillar 1: Priority 4 (please see National Clinical Quality Registry and Virtual Strategy 2020-2030). Monash University is finalising best practice approaches for reporting PROMs information and how it can be integrated into clinical reporting for maximum impact. Project Reports will be available in June 2024.
2. Best practice clinical reporting
Reporting data to sites and clinicians is a defining feature of a CQR and forms part of Strategy Pillar 2: Priority 9 and Priority 18 (please see National Clinical Quality Registry and Virtual Strategy 2020-2030). Monash University is developing best practice guidance on feedback reporting for clinicians and sites in ways that maximise safety and quality improvement, in line with the CQR Framework. Project Reports will be available in June 2024.
3. Development of Good CQR Training module
Streamlining processes for CQRs conducted within a research framework forms part of Strategy Pillar 3: Priority 11. Monash University is developing a ‘Good CQR Training Module’ as an alternative to the current Good Clinical Practice training for clinical trials. A published Guide is expected to be available from June 2024. This work builds upon the previously completed Streamlining CQR Site Approval Pilot.
4. Communication and Collaboration Hub activities
Monash is a key member of the CQR Communication and Collaboration Hub Executive, a virtual team established in 2022 in collaboration with SAHMRI and ACTA. Its purpose is to support CQRs to work together and share best practice in line with Strategy Pillar 3: Priority 15 (please see National Clinical Quality Registry and Virtual Strategy 2020-2030). In addition to the best practice projects outlined above, current activities include:
- The Australian Clinical Registry Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM)
- The Annual SAHMRI Registry Symposium
- Regular Registry Special Interest Group webinars and meetings
- Publishing a quarterly sector newsletter “The Benchmark”
