QuaRRIES recognise excellence in services<\/h1>\n
\"Internal

Internal Medicine Services won the Best Poster Award for The OPAT Project<\/p><\/div>\n

The Royal Brisbane and Women\u2019s Hospital QuARRIES Awards held on 14 July highlighted some of the remarkable quality initiatives and excellence in service improvement by staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cSafe, quality patient care is not about doing what we have always done. Instead, it focuses our attention to continuously strive to improve what we do and how we do it \u2013 to make work practices better for each other, for our patients and their families,\u201d said Acting Executive Director RBWH, Adj. Assoc. Prof Alanna Geary.<\/p>\n

Now in its 19th<\/sup> year, the QuARRIES are a demonstration of the Metro North Hospital and Health Service Putting people first initiative in action – innovative practices implemented by staff to improve patient outcomes.<\/p>\n

This year for the first time, award nominees were invited to share their initiatives and knowledge at the QuARRIES Day of Excellence before the awards ceremony, so that others could learn from their experience. The presentations were well received by staff, Board members and consumers who attended.<\/p>\n

The eight category winners were rigorously judged by a multidisciplinary team of Metro North HHS senior staff as well as a Consumer Representative.\u00a0 The Service Line of each category winner accepted the QuARRIES trophy at the awards ceremony.<\/p>\n

The Overall Superior Quality Achiever award was presented to the category winner with the highest score. This is a perpetual trophy, which bears the names of all past winners.<\/p>\n
