AIHW statistical information on the safety and quality of health care in Australia
The AIHW and its collaborating units have published a range of information on the safety and quality of health care in Australia. The publications linked below are the latest examples that encompass information related to one or more of the National Health Performance Framework dimensions relating to safety and quality.
Most of these publications include statistics related to health care safety and quality within a wider range of information focussed on a type of health care provider (for example, hospitals), a type of disease or health condition (for example, cardiovascular disease), or the health of a population group (for example, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders). Australia's Health 2008 (AIHW 2008) presents summary information covering all these components.
