  • Developing Overall Design, Multi-Sectoral Joint Medical Safety and Quality Management Systems: The Experience and Enlightenment from the Medical Risk Management System of New South Wales of Australia

    This article introduced the structure and features of the medical safety and quality management system of New South Wales (NSW) of Australia. The system was funded by government with overall design, multi-sectors involvement, and explicit roles of government, hospitals, and independent third parties. The system also developed national and state-wide regulations, policies, standards and their certification. The NSW Health Incident Information Management System (IIMS), the guidelines and interventional programs were also established to decrease the medical risk and ensure the healthcare quality. This system will be used for reference to the national medical risk and quality management system of China.

  • Evidence-Based Research on Healthcare Performance Evaluation in Australia and Its Enlightenment to China

    Objective To summarize and analysis the working experience of healthcare performance evaluation and reporting experience in local health administration department of Australia, and provide decision support to China on such work as establishing objective, scientific, effective healthcare performance evaluation system, strengthening government’s supervision over health service and improving healthcare system management efficiency. Methods Searching official networks and databases of Australia, and finding out relevant policy, reports, and documents on healthcare performance evaluation. Results Typical healthcare performance evaluation systems in Australian are as follos: National Health Performance Framework (NHPF), the National Healthcare Agreement(NHA)and Review of Government Service Provision. Conclusions These programs in Australian is enlightening to these work in China that performance evaluation should be the prior tool in health system to management and reform, the performance measurement indicators systems should emphasize the quality safety and health fair.We should set up scientific and flexible index inclusion criteria and open report and compare performance information.

  • Development of Australian Health Decision Support System and Its Enlightenments to China

    In order to understand the latest progress of health decision support system (HDSS) construction, grasp the law of HDSS development and adopt the international advanced experience, this paper took Australia for example, presented a comparative analysis on the construction practices, including the contents, features and system functions of national construction guidelines for HDSS in different periods, and showed the integral development level of Australia HDSS was still in the exploratory stage, and its construction goal, function orientation and construction mechanism got improved gradually with the deep development of public health information. Additionally, to assure the accuracy and safety of HDSS function, Australia has been laying stress on the standard specification construction and system function authentication.

  • Comparative study on Sichuan yak pericardium and Australian cattle pericardium

    Currently, as the key raw material of artificial biological heart valve, bovine pericardium is mainly depend on import and has become a “bottleneck” challenge, greatly limiting the development of domestic biological heart valve. Therefore, the localization of bovine pericardium is extremely urgent. In this study, the pericardium of Sichuan yak was compared with that of Australian cattle in terms of fundamental properties and anti-calcification performance. The results demonstrated that the appearance and thickness of yak pericardium were more advantageous than the Australian one. Sichuan yak pericardium and Australian cattle pericardium had comparable performance in shrinkage temperature, mechanical test and anti-calcification test. This study preliminarily verifies the feasibility of substitution of Australian cattle pericardium by Sichuan yak pericardium and promotes the progression of bovine pericardium localization with data support.
