Community Update on Safety and Quality in NSW

The Directorate of Patient Based Care at the Clinical Excellence Commission (CEC) has recently developed “Community Update on Safety and Quality in NSW”. The Community Update is designed to provide information on the progress of NSW public hospitals across four key safety areas: hand hygiene, medication safety, falls and handover to consumers of health care.

Engaging the community and partnering with patients, families and carers as team members improves quality in health care. In this Community Update, we provide information and practical ways for consumers to improve the care they receive whilst in hospital.
You can access the Community Update from: http://www.cec.health.nsw.gov.au/community-update
