National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards

The National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards are guidelines aimed at ensuring healthcare services are safe, effective, and patient-centered. They set out best practices for healthcare providers to deliver high-quality care, minimize risks, and improve patient safety. These standards focus on areas like infection control, medication safety, communication, and respecting patients’ rights. By following these standards, healthcare organizations work to provide consistent, reliable care that protects patients and promotes positive health outcomes. They serve as a framework for continuous improvement in healthcare settings across Australia.
