2 Implementation of the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards The Experience and Lessons Learnt by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards July 2012
3 Introduction and overview This information is based on the results of preliminary assessments against the National Standards. The organisations volunteered to undergo this assessment. This presentation is based on completed assessments for 51 organisations. By 31 December 2012 ACHS will have completed 172 gap analyses, at no charge, for member organisations. Around 70% of surveyors and most coordinators will have been on a gap analysis review with the NSQHS Standards before 1 Jan 2013.
4 Introduction and overview (2) Supporting information to guide both organisations and surveyors The Safety and Quality Guides has been placed on the Commission website for consultation. shortly. These excellent guides will be a vital resource for health services Surveyor training has been constrained by the amount of information available, but the gap analysis process is supporting the development of surveyor skills. Caution should be exercised in the use of this information: implementation of the National Standards is work in progress. The information reflects a point in time only.
5 Results of gap analyses Good sample size, but there are some precautions with the data: Gap analysis not an accreditation survey Variable levels of preparation from organisations Variable levels of familiarity with NSQHS Standards Data presented on original set of core/developmental not on recent changes to core/developmental actions.
