-
Ensuring effectiveness, quality and safety of care: CME/CPD that improves performance of healthcare professionals, teams and caregiving organisations.
-
Improving patient or community health: CME/CPD is linked to advancing care goals, extending preventative care and addressing community health concerns.
-
Advancing innovations and emerging science: education is a catalyst to disseminate knowledge and accelerate adoption of innovations.
-
Enhancing efficiency and cost effectiveness: Includes avoiding unnecessary procedures or treatments, minimising hospital readmissions and optimising workflows in care settings.
-
Improving engagement: CME/CPD is a catalyst for organisational improvement and decreasing burnout of health professionals.
-
