Improving respiratory care across Australia and New Zealand

ANZRAP will describe the current quality of care, including but not limited to access, availability and timeliness of care received by people admitted with exacerbations of COPD or asthma. We will identify gaps in clinical care delivery against quality indicators described in current and emerging clinical care standards. This work will support and inform future quality improvement projects.

ANZRAP aims to provide comprehensive data on COPD and asthma care in Australia and New Zealand to:

Understand prevalence and risk factors for exacerbations & hospitalisations,
Examine healthcare provision, quality of care, and clinical outcomes,
Explore variations in healthcare,
Examine how health care is provided and by whom,
Examine how health care is provided and by whom,

ANZRAP is proud to partner with patient advocacy groups and peak respiratory bodies in Australia and New Zealand.

Governance

ANZRAP is a collaborative effort led by a steering committee of clinicians and researchers in Australia and New Zealand. ANZRAP is informed by guidance and feedback from our consumer representative group and key stakeholders from our partner organisations to ensure outputs are aligned with patient and partner needs.
