Guidelines for Conducting and Reporting Morbidity and Mortality/Clinical Review Meetings by
This document follows on from the previous guidelines developed by the Clinical Excellence Commission (2016) (CEC) and provides a methodology for M&Ms using 6 core principles, guided by Human Factors and systems thinking to support comprehensive discussion from a diversity of clinical perspectives and generate system improvement opportunities. The guidelines support an evolution in clinical review processes away from linear cause-effect models centred on the individual most proximal to the adverse outcome, to more complex systems analyses that incorporate consideration of the organisational factors that both support and constrain individual practitioners.
National Model Clinical Governance Framework by
The purpose of this guide is to provide a consistent national framework for clinical governance that is based on the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards.
National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards, 2e by
The National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards were developed by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (the Commission) in collaboration with the Australian Government, states and territories, the private sector, clinical experts, patients and carers. The primary aims of the NSQHS Standards are to protect the public from harm and to improve the quality of health service provision. They provide a quality assurance mechanism that tests whether relevant systems are in place to ensure that expected standards of safety and quality are met. There are eight NSQHS Standards, which cover high-prevalence adverse events, healthcareassociated infections, medication safety, comprehensive care, clinical communication, the prevention and management of pressure injuries, the prevention of falls, and responding to clinical deterioration. Importantly, these NSQHS Standards have provided a nationally consistent statement about the standard of care consumers can expect from their health service organisations.
