| Abstract: | The Quality Assurance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Medical Services (QAAMS) Program is the largest and longest-standing
national point-of-care testing (PoCT) program in Australia. With a focus on PoCT for diabetes management, it now
operates in 115 Indigenous medical services and has been funded continuously by the Australian Government for 11 years. A
recent independent evaluation of the QAAMS Program concluded the program continues to meet best practice standards for
Indigenous healthcare, diabetes management and PoCT. |
