The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care has published the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards, which provide a nationally consistent statement of the level of care consumers can expect from health service organisations.
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.
Another set of standards from the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care are the Clinical Care Standards.
Standards for General Practices, 5e
by
The RACGP has developed the Standards for general practices (5th edition) (the Standards) with the purpose of protecting patients from harm by improving the quality and safety of health services.
The Standards support general practices in identifying and addressing any gaps in their systems and processes.
