Case Studies
The Australian Primary Care Collaboratives (formerly the National Primary Care Collaboratives) Program encourages practices across Australia to share ideas about the improvements and positive changes they have made through networking at workshops as well as through their Division.
This page provides links to a variety of case studies provided by some practices participating in the APCC Program who have made significant improvements to their systems and the care they provide to their patients. In the case studies featured here, practices can see the step-by-step process a practice has taken to implement change.
The case studies are sorted first by topic area then by Change Principle. Change Principles form a key element of the APCC Program. To find out more about the APCC Change Principles click here.
