The State of Safety and Quality in Australian Health Care

A new report released by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) provides an overview of a series of key topics in relation to the safety and quality of Australia's health care system. Professor Villis Marshall, Chair of ACSQHC said  “Vital Signs 2014 is structured around 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?”  Each question is  considered in its own section using examples of key health issues in Australia and followed by two case studies.
