Who can use the toolkits?
How can you use these toolkits?
What is the Quality Improvement Data Systems (QIDS) and why should I join?
QIDS provides a channel for clinicians to reach out for advice to CEC experts as well as communities of practice and to share their own learnings.
Each toolkit is linked to a Quality Improvement Community of Practice (CoP) that can be accessed through the Quality Improvement Data System (QIDS). Joining a QI CoP allows you to record and track your quality progress and share learning with other teams in NSW.
