The Lowitja Institute 2nd CQI Conference 17–18 March 2014 Report 1
OVERVIEW
This report summarises the activities and outcomes of the Lowitja Institute 2nd National Conference on Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care Conference held in Melbourne on 17–18 March 2014.
This was the 2nd National CQI conference in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health held in Australia, following the great success of the first conference held in Alice Springs in May 2012.
CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES AND THEMES
Conference objectives and themes were developed at the early stages by the organising committee and the Lowitja Institute’s Healthy Start, Healthy Life program.
Objectives
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) refers to a system of regular reflection and refinement to improve processes and outcomes that will provide quality health care. An increased focus on integrating CQI into the operations of primary health care providers to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people has been shown to yield substantial benefits.
Our goal is to make CQI everyone’s business. The conference provided opportunities for participants to:
• share knowledge about how best to embed CQI into everyday practice, ensuring better access to the highest-‐quality and comprehensive primary health care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities including health promotion, dental health, social emotional wellbeing, alcohol and other drug programs (among others)
• learn about successful CQI examples and how best to transfer this knowledge to others working in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing space.
The CQI conference was developed for service providers, including community-‐based community controlled services and government agencies, along with researchers, health industry and policy development government departments.
Themes
• CQI practice at local and/or regional level
• Consumer perspective
• CQI models and systems
• CQI influence on policy
• CQI data
• Accreditation
• CQI implementation
• Health promotion

Abstracts were reviewed following the below considerations/guidelines:
• each abstract was reviewed by two persons. Consequently, each of the reviewers assessed 29 or 30 abstracts
• the Program Manager also read all abstracts so if there was an abstract showing contradictory assessments it was discussed it individually but the Program Manager was able to contribute towards the decision
• author’s name and affiliations were eliminated so the review was blind • conflict of interest was minimised almost to zero by not assigning any abstract submitted by
someone with strong connection with any of the reviewers
• Scores were between 1 and 5 where: o 1 = not suitable for oral/poster presentation: no results, unclear purpose and findings o 2 = borderline for oral/poster presentation: relevant but poorly written, or not relevant,
or not pitched at target audience o 3 = suitable as oral/poster presentation: interesting, but needs some feedback and
improvement for its acceptance o 4 = suitable/very good for oral/poster presentation: fits well with theme of conference,
well written and relevant o 5 = excellent paper: original, relevant and well-‐written, has results with appropriate
analysis, and fits theme of conference
• reviewers completed their assessment by assigning a score between 1 and 5 and writing any relevant comments
• assessment information was collected in one spreadsheet after receiving all assessments.
All abstracts were accepted. However, in some cases more information was requested from authors, changes in the format, theme, etc. Four abstracts were withdrawn.

The CQI Conference Committee’s direction was to ensure that the aims and themes of the conference were best addressed. Therefore, the program was developed around different delivery modes:
• plenary sessions with keynote speakers • workshops and café style presentations with CQI experts to provide practical sessions in the
use of CQI tools and latest developments, and • concurrent sessions with short presentations, case studies, research outcomes and CQI
stories to share with other participants.
