Vital signs 2013: the state of safety and quality in Australian health care

The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care has released VitalSigns 2013: The State of Safety and Quality in Australian Health Care. This report provides an overview of a series of key topics in relation to the safety and quality of Australia’s health care system.

Professor Debora Picone, Chief Executive of the Commission noted “Vital Signs 2013 focuses on three important questions that members of the public may ask about their health care. Will my care be safe? Will I get the right care? Will I be a partner in my care?”
