The Canterbury DHB Contracted Provider Quality Network Group’s purpose is to
facilitate networking and sharing of information amongst Contracted Providers
Quality Practitioners. The Group is held on a monthly basis and provides a forum
for sharing quality information, standards, national strategies and trends and
provides a mechanism for disseminating quality information.
Membership is open to quality practitioners belonging to Canterbury DHB
Contracted Providers who have an interest in quality management practices within
their organisations. The Group provides a mechanism for input into Ministry of
Health and Canterbury DHB policy and processes and provides the opportunity for
guidance and mentoring. The Group also provides the opportunity to develop and
share quality initiatives amongst the members and their subsequent
organisations.
Canterbury DHB Contracted Provider Organisations are encouraged to enter the Canterbury DHB Quality and Innovation Awards which are sponsored by the Canterbury DHB Quality and Patient Safety Council.
