Capturing the Benefits of Clinical Quality Registries
Clinical quality registries (CQRs) systematically collect information about the safety and quality of health care, and through risk-adjusted and benchmarked reports drive improvements in patient care. Most commonly however, the information and insights from CQRs remain within clinical units and/or specialties rather than being embedded within organisational governance. We describe the key elements of organisational infrastructure that are essential to translate CQR data into system-wide quality improvement at a health service and jurisdictional level.

Adolescent Pregnancy Among Girls Known to Child Protection Services: An Australian Longitudinal Cohort Study Using Data Linkage
In a population cohort of 44,216 adolescent girls, about 73.5% of those who became pregnant were known to child protection services. Exposure to higher levels of child protection response was associated with increased cumulative incidence and an earlier age of pregnancy.
