MOA Tools

MOA supports our users with a range of tools designed to facilitate accreditation and best practice care. Each set of tools are carefully tailored to the type of care you offer. Better yet, you can customise tools to suit your service or even load your own tools and data collection instruments into the system. Content is continuously reviewed by our team, industry experts and member advisory panels. Where opportunities for improvement are found, you can push those opportunities directly into a digital quality improvement plan. Our program of audits currently supports

  • The new Aged Care Quality Standards
  • The NDIS Practice Standards
  • The ARVAS Standards and Retirement Living Code of Conduct
  • The New Zealand Health and Disability Services Standards (NZS8134:2008)

Participate in the NACMQIP with MOA

Participation in the National Aged Care Mandatory Quality Indicator Program (NACMQIP) became mandatory for all Australian providers of Residential Aged Care from July 1, 2019. The Department of Health allows providers to collect and submit this data using a commercial benchmarking service.

Last quarter, MOA Benchmarking supported more than 700 homes through their quarterly NACMQIP submissions. This support includes:

  • Proactive data quality checking. We contact your home as we identify potential data anomalies.
  • A benchmarked pre-submission report for each home.
  • Educational webinars and access to instant support.
  • The automatic transmission of NACMQIP data submitted through our guided online collected tool to the MyAgedCare portal.

From 1 July 2021, residential aged care providers will be required to report on additional quality indicators under the NACMQIP. In addition to the existing pressure injuries, physical restraint and unplanned weight loss indicators, organisations will soon need to report on medication management, and falls and major injury. Changes to reporting requirements will also commence from 1 July 2021, where organisations are required to report the count of residents instead of the count of occurrences.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss the benefits of partnering with MOA for NACMQIP support and your options.

 

 

MOA homes out-perform national averages

MOA Benchmarking clients out-performed the national averages for unplanned weight loss based on data from the first submission of the NACMQIP. Our clients (a mix of for profit and not-for-profit homes) performed, on average, 8.4% and 14.1% better for unplanned weight loss than other not-for-profit homes and for-profit homes respectively. The difference between well and poorly performing homes has little to do with profit status. The reporting for the Royal Commission has shown few clinically significant differences in outcomes for the NACMQIP program.

 

MOA clients also performed better for consecutive weight loss than Government homes but worse for significant weight loss; however, given the small number of government homes, those numbers should be interpreted with caution.

Aged care providers are required to maintain a written plan for continuous improvement
