3pm AEST, 19 July 2017: Dr Felecia Watkin Lui, Indigenous leadership and co-leadership in research – what does it mean for CQI research?
I am excited to announce that Dr Felecia Watkin Lui will speak to us for the July RCS Teleconference at 3pm AEST, Wednesday, 19 July 2017. Dr Watkin Lui is Senior Lecturer and Researcher in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Centre / Cairns Institute at James Cook University (JCU), Cairns. Her focus on collaborative community projects piqued her interest in exploring issues of engagement, impact and benefit, and the role of Indigenous leadership in research uptake. Dr Watkin Lui is a Torres Strait Islander woman with giz from Mabuiag, Badu and Erub. Next week, she will present on the topic, Indigenous leadership and co-leadership in research – what does it mean for CQI research?
The dial-in details for this TC are in the calendar appointment emailed previously – please let me know if you have not received this appointment and require the dial-in details. Please note: this month’s TC will not be on the usual 4th Wednesday of the month.

Free article: Social and emotional wellbeing screening for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders within primary health care services: A series of missed opportunities? by Erika Mary Langham, Janya McCalman, Veronica Matthews, Roxanne Gwendalyn Bainbridge, Barbara Nattabi, Irina Kinchin, Ross Bailie
‘Hot off the press’, this article presents a cross-sectional analysis of Indigenous client records from primary health care services in 4 Australian states/territory. The findings suggest that the lack of a clear model or guidelines on best practice for screening for social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB) in Indigenous health may contribute to the wide variation in SEWB service provision. The authors argue for the development of national best practice guidelines for SEWB screening and management, dedicated SEWB funding, training for health service providers and ongoing monitoring of adherence with the guidelines. The open access article can be accessed in Frontiers in Public Health here.
New article: Accuracy of national key performance indicator reporting from two Aboriginal medical services: Potential to underestimate the performance of primary health care, by Isaac Hill, David Johnson, David Scrimgeour and Robyn McDermott
Isaac Hill and colleagues recently published their study that assessed the accuracy of extracting national key performance indicator (nKPI) data for the OCHREStreams program using the Pen Computer Systems Clinical Audit Tool (CAT) from Communicare. They found that CAT accurately extracts a subset of nKPI data from Communicare, but the widespread use of Communicare in ACCHSs means that inclusion of deceased clients and past patients in the OCHREStreams nKPI data program is likely to have resulted in systematic under-reporting of health service performance nationally.

Jeff Cheverton Memorial Scholarship
The Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA) with Brisbane North Primary Health Network established the Jeff Cheverton Memorial Scholarship to honour the memory of Jeff Cheverton, who demonstrated excellence in health leadership until his untimely death in March 2017. This six-week scholarship supports scholars to develop an issues brief on a topic relevant to PHC-related issues including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. Scholars will have opportunity to spend 6 weeks working with AHHA in Canberra, and to establish connections with policymakers and practitioners working in their field of research.
The scholarship is open to postgraduate tertiary students, early career researchers and those working in primary health, mental health, aged care, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, or LGBTQI health. Applications close 5pm AEST, Friday 11 August 2017. More information is available here.
That’s all for the July RCS Update; please drop a line, say hello and share your latest in CQI and CQI research, or a request or suggestion for the next update.
Until then, I hope to ‘see’ many of you at the RCS TC with Dr Watkin Lui next week!
