Through an analysis of MOA monthly quality indicator (QI) data, our data scientist, Filip Reierson, has identified a direct relationship between the diagnosis of depression and antidepressant use in aged care services. The strength of this relationship, however, was found to vary considerably between organisations, suggesting differences in clinical practices across services. Contact the MOA team to see how this relationship looked for your organisation.
MOA can deliver custom QI analysis and reporting to our residential and home care partner providers. This offers bespoke, in-depth insights into your organisation and consumer outcomes, and enables you to identify, for example, issues with data quality or opportunities for service improvement.
