Clinical Practice Improvement Program

The Clinical Practice Improvement (CPI) Program supports the implementation of practices that improve patient outcomes. There are eight CPI initiatives, grouped in three clusters.

The eight CPI initiatives were selected for implementation in WA following a review of local, national and international evidence, data and best practice.
