Abstract

Background and objectives: Australian general practices are highly involved with accreditation programs; however, there is evidence to suggest variability in their levels of performance. The aim of the current study was to determine the association with between several metrics of preparation with accreditation performance outcomes.

Method: Several metrics were synthesised that measured preparation time to general practice accreditation. Performance outcomes were: (1) conformity to 124 indicators of the standards; (2) time to remediate indicator non-conformities; and (3) level of assistance required.

Results: A greater number of months between registration with the accrediting agency and practice accreditation expiry date was associated with higher indicator conformity at the site visit (OR=1.04, P=0.001), as well as less time (β=-0.02, P=0.002) and less assistance (β=-0.66, P=0.02) to remediate non-conformant indicators post site visit.

Discussion: Adequate preparation time for several components within the accreditation framework for general practices were associated with small-to-moderate improvements in key performance outcomes.

准备时间对澳大利亚全科医生评审成绩的影响。

背景与目标：澳大利亚的全科医生高度参与评审计划，但有证据表明，他们的绩效水平参差不齐。本研究旨在确定几项准备指标与评审结果之间的关系：方法：综合了衡量全科医学认证准备时间的几种指标。绩效结果包括(1) 是否符合 124 项标准指标；(2) 对不符合指标的情况进行补救的时间；(3) 所需的援助水平：结果：在认证机构注册和执业认证到期日之间的月数越多，现场考察时指标符合率越高（OR=1.04，P=0.001），现场考察后补救不符合指标的时间越短（β=-0.02，P=0.002），所需的援助越少（β=-0.66，P=0.02）：讨论：为全科医疗机构评审框架内的几个组成部分提供充足的准备时间与关键绩效结果的小幅至中幅改善有关。
