ACHS Clinical Indicator Report 2024

The 25th edition of the ACHS Clinical Indicator Report 2024 (ACIR) summarises clinical indicator data sourced over the past eight years from a broad range of speciality areas in healthcare.

The ACIR remains the most enduring report on clinical indicator-based health performance data in the world, consistently capturing data and measuring trends over 33 years. This report assists organisations to improve within a national context.

This year, the feature report reviews the development of Australia’s first ever clinical indicators for safety and quality in Ambulance Health Services. This new indicator set provides a mechanism for the future collection and reporting of key safety data for ambulance health services across Australia. The set has been endorsed by the Council of Ambulance Authorities and aligns with the new National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards Guide for Ambulance Health Services released by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare in 2024.

ACHS would like to thank everyone who contributed to the report, in particular the expert commentators nominated by our collaborating colleges and societies.
