Quality and Information for General Practice

This report outlines the evolution of quality and information strategies in New Zealand general practice from 1996 to 2008, influenced by experiences with the UK's Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF). The RNZCGP and GPLF conducted extensive visits to various health sector levels in the UK, producing insightful reports that suggest a need for a comprehensive quality framework in New Zealand. Key stakeholders are identified, emphasizing the significance of quality in improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities, while also outlining critical priorities for information development in support of these goals.
