The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care developed National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards to improve the quality of health service provision in Australia and, in 2011, those standards were endorsed by Health Ministers for implementation Australia-wide.
There are 10 NSQHS Standards focusing on areas that are essential to drive that implementation, and the use of safety and quality systems, and which provide a nationally consistent statement of the level of care consumers should be able to expect from health services:
- 1. Governance for Safety and Quality in Health Service Organisations
- 2. Partnering with Consumers
- 3. Preventing and Controlling Healthcare Associated Infections
- 4. Medication Safety
- 5. Patient Identification and Procedure Matching
- 6. Clinical Handover
- 7. Blood and Blood Products
- 8. Preventing and Managing Pressure Injuries
- 9. Recognising and Responding to Clinical Deterioration in Acute Health Care
- 10. Preventing Falls and Harm from Falls
Global-Mark is the leading provider of Accreditation against ISO 9001 in the health care industry and has built significant expertise through its very experienced staff, client managers and technical experts. It also offers a program to day surgeries for accreditation to those NSQHS standards which were phased in Australia-wide from January 2013.
The Vision Centre Day Surgery at Southport has been regularly and successfully surveyed and re-accredited by Global-Mark under the ISO 9001 international standard for many years, and now also meets the stringent NSQHS standards as well.
Queensland Health personnel, on behalf of the State Government, regularly inspect and approve Vision Centre premises and practices as appropriate to the current State health management regulations.
Patients can have great confidence that the right conditions are in place for quality surgery and that in-house systems are working to give them the best possible result in a clean, bright and friendly environment.
High standards are consistently achieved by the learned, professional staff at Vision Centre Day Surgery, and patients benefit from the work of a strong governing committee which constantly analyses and evaluates performance to ensure ongoing improvement in patient experience.
Global-Mark provides a Certificate of Approval, valid for 3 years, to day surgeries which can ably demonstrate that all of the requirements of satisfactory performance are met and that:
- 1. Improvement is apparent in all relevant areas of the organisation and
- 2. Improvement is sustainable and
- 3. Improvement is built into the day to day operations and
- 4. The performance reflects the safety and quality culture of the organisation and
- 5. The improvement is being evaluated
Vision Centre proudly displays the Certificate of Approval in the reception area of our Day Surgery in Southport.
