CareTrack: assessing the appropriateness of health care delivery in Australia

The Medical Journal of Australia · 2012 · Vol. 197(2) · pp. 100–105

Abstract

Although there were pockets of excellence and some aspects of care were well managed across health care providers, the consistent delivery of appropriate care needs improvement, and gaps in care should be addressed. There is a need for national agreement on clinical standards and better structuring of medical records to facilitate the delivery of more appropriate care.
