  • Summary

  • At Clinical Excellence Queensland, we partner with health services, clinicians and consumers to drive measurable improvement in patient care through a continual pursuit of excellence. Our annual Showcase event brings together clinicians, consumers and managers from across Queensland Health to share their projects and programs that are creating change and delivering healthcare benefits to Queenslanders. This podcast is your opportunity to learn how others are making change happen from clinicians and administrators at the coalface who have successfully navigated healthcare system challenges to deliver improvement and innovation in their own health service. These are some of their stories.

    Australia is the best place for clinicians to live and work | The Great Debate 2023
    Jun 27 2023
    As always, we’ll see out the Showcase with The Great Debate. Known to entertain more than inform, this year’s debate asks whether Australia is the best place for clinicians to live and work. Joining us this year is another stellar line up of some of Queensland’s best and brightest (and unusually, most are surgeons!) Affirmative team (yes, Australia is the best place to live and work): Dr Emilia Dauway, Director of Surgery at QEII Jubilee Hospital Dr Bernie Whitfield, Director of ENT at Logan Hospital Dr Rob Franz, Medical Director General Surgery at The Prince Charles Hospital. Negative team (no, Australia is not the best place to live and work): Associate Professor Robyn Littlewood, CEO Health and Wellbeing Queensland Dr Diana Tam, Consultant Breast and Endocrine Surgeon Associate Professor Cath McDougall, Chief Medical Officer for Queensland Health. Chaired by the Deputy Director-General herself, Dr Helen Brown, this year’s Great Debate is sure to highlight the pros and pitfalls of our beautiful country!

    Climate change is one of the most important challenges the world is facing currently. Climate change negatively impacts on health worldwide. To address climate change is our professional obligation. SWAPNET has established an Environmental Accountability Working Group with the aim to engage clinicians, HHSs and facilities to promote change and to develop comprehensive resources to support improvement and to lead the way to encourage other networks to also take up the challenge.

  • Making home oral antibiotic administration safer: evaluation of a complex outpatient antibiotic therapy (COPAT) service | Metro North HHS

    Making home oral antibiotic administration safer: evaluation of a complex outpatient antibiotic therapy (COPAT) service | Metro North HHS
    Jun 27 2023
    Traditionally long-term antibiotic therapy for significant infections has been given intravenously (IV). Current evidence now supports the utilisation of highly bioavailable oral antibiotic (HBOA) therapy substituting for most of the IV course. This includes quinolones, sulphonamides, tetracyclines, macrolides, azoles, lincosamides, rifamycins and oxazolidinones classes of antibiotics. HBOA therapy allows the patient to receive treatment in their own home, potentially return to work, removes the risk of long lines, and achieve therapeutic goals. However, treatment may be for several months and side effects may arise at any time; some potentially avoidable with early recognition. We established a Complex outpatient antibiotic therapy (CoPAT) service that monitor’s patients on HBOA at home. This manages in a timely fashion any adverse outcomes to allow ongoing achievement of therapeutic goals, prevention of hospital admission and reduction of overall care costs. It also allows standardisation of the follow-up care provided.
