Quality indicators are standardised, evidence-based measures used to monitor and evaluate the quality and safety of care. The ACAC developed a Quality Indicator Repository. For information on its development see this document.

Please navigate the Quality Indicator Repository to learn about the quality indicators we identified across care settings and their defining, data, and source attributes.  You can also use the Quality Indicator Repository to download quality indicators of interest to you.
