Significant event analysis
  • Describe the event in a detailed way
  • Analyse
  • What can be improved?

Round table discussion 1
  • How do you deal with significant events in your
    practice?
  • Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of
    significant event analysis in your specific
    situation.

10
Take home messages
  • Needs/Quality problems should be analysed
  • Needs are not isolated but refer to different
    causes of problems interdependency of needs.
  • Significant event analysis is a well-accepted and
    powerful tool to detect needs and initiate
    change.

11
European Practice Assessment (Engels,Grol 2005)
  • Researchers from 6 European countries developed
    a set of European indicators for management of
    primary care
  • 6 national panels rated the indicators and
    achieved a national consensus on a large set of
    indicators
  • A pilot test in 9 countries data collection in
    30 practices / country

12

21
Take home messages
  • Needs assessment is a team activity
  • Needs assessment is successful in a practice
    where improving quality is felt as an internal
    responsibility, as part of normal GP work, of
    identity, of professionalism

Round table discussion 2
  • Government organisations put community priorities
    on the "needs" agenda. For example cost-
    efficiency related items.
  • How are these priorities in your country/practice
    integrated in your personal or practice CPD
    agenda?

28
Take home messages
  • Needs of the community/society are to be
    integrated in local improvement projects
  • Quality groups can learn to analyse aggregated
    data and prioritize action plans
  • The power of peers needs assessment in touch
    with local attitudes
