About
gpns is committed to supporting general practices in the southern region to deliver innovative, high quality practice and best possible care – to achieve Success in Practice.
Working closely with all members of the practice team, to meet individual and practice needs, the gpns Practice Support Team (PST) provides a wide range of services and resources. Success in Practice promotes a quality and continuous improvement culture designed to improve patient outcomes through systematic approaches and effective teamwork.
How we can help:
Education Events
Success in Practice education events are designed for all members of the practice team. Each event offers facilitated networking opportunities where participants are encouraged to ‘generously share and shamelessly steal’ ideas in a collaborative environment.
Publications
Our quarterly newsletter, Success in Practice, brings together case studies, links to practical resources, ‘how to’ guides and success stories. Each edition covers issues relevant to the whole practice team plus tips to help practices get the most from clinical software and information management systems. Topics include practice management, accreditation, IT/IM, immunisation, aged care, practice nursing, and allied health using real examples and profiles from southern general practice where possible.
Information Management Tools
gpns offers a range of information management tools that assist member practices to demonstrate health outcomes, enhance systems and measure ongoing improvement activities. These tools translate and present practice data in a format that is easy to understand and act upon.
The Improvement Model
The Improvement Model is a simple but effective tool for implementing and testing ideas that you think may lead to an improvement. It can be used to test ideas quickly and is easily based on new or existing ideas, research, feedback, theory, review, audit or practical ideas that have been proven to work elsewhere. The Improvement Model consists of two key parts: a series of questions to guide improvement and short Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles in rapid succession. The PDSA method is a way to break down change into manageable chunks, testing each small part to make sure that things are improving and no effort is wasted.
