Effective patient safety measures include certification against safe practice standards, the establishment of a governance (monitoring) and credentialing system and open incident reporting and review. These are all hallmarks of patient focused care.
Standard provides the foundation for describing best practice and fostering continuous improvement in the quality of health and disability services. It sets out the rights of people and ensures service providers know their responsibilities for safe outcomes.
At Anglesea Hospital we strive for an environment which fosters excellence in clinical care. Our Clinical Governance framework ensures we are accountable for the quality of our service and the standards of care provided. Processes and best practice are promoted and reviewed through the Hospital Medical Advisory Committee (“HMAC”).
