Summary

The Aboriginal Identification in Hospitals Quality Improvement Program aimed to improve the cultural competence of staff in NSW hospital emergency departments (EDs), improve the identification of Aboriginality in NSW hospital EDs, and reduce the proportion of Aboriginal patients who have an incomplete emergency attendance. Participating EDs worked in partnership with Aboriginal organisations and communities to implement a continuous quality improvement project seeking to improve the cultural accessibility of care for Aboriginal patients. An evaluation of
the program was conducted to determine whether it was meeting its aims.
