Clinical Registries Priority Focus Area – EOI

We’re invit­ing expres­sions of inter­est for a Clin­i­cal Lead and Expert Advi­so­ry Group (EAG) mem­bers to guide work on clin­i­cal reg­istries as part of the data-dri­ven clin­i­cal deci­sion-mak­ing Pri­or­i­ty Focus Area (PFA).

About the data-dri­ven clin­i­cal deci­sion mak­ing PFA

Data-dri­ven clin­i­cal deci­sion mak­ing is a high pri­or­i­ty area in the South Aus­tralian health sys­tem as it:

  • Reduces unwar­rant­ed clin­i­cal vari­a­tion and sup­ports more con­sis­tent, equi­table care
  • Improves safe­ty and pre­vents harm through pre­dic­tive analytics
  • Sup­ports clin­i­cians in high‑pressure environments
  • Enhances per­son­al­i­sa­tion, effi­cien­cy, and outcomes
  • Aligns with SA Health’s strate­gic goals and nation­al health policy.

This PFA is focused on strength­en­ing South Australia’s clin­i­cal reg­istry sys­tem to ensure it is coor­di­nat­ed, patient-cen­tred and able to:

  • Shift effort from col­lect­ing data to using it to improve care, com­pare results, and achieve bet­ter patient outcomes.
  • Strength­en gov­er­nance, coor­di­na­tion, and statewide plan­ning to sup­port trans­paren­cy, account­abil­i­ty, and bet­ter use of health data.
  • Pri­ori­tise equi­ty, trans­paren­cy, and time­ly insights.

What are PFAs?

PFAs are SA Health’s top pri­or­i­ties for improv­ing patient out­comes and the health­care sys­tem. Each PFA focus­es on a key theme and aims to deliv­er real improve­ments through time-lim­it­ed projects.

PFAs are guid­ed by EAGs made up of clin­i­cians, con­sumers, and oth­er sub­ject mat­ter experts. EAGs work togeth­er, fol­low­ing a clear work­plan, to guide and com­plete their projects.
