Clinical Care Standards on the frontline
Five Stories of Excellence
Our webinar
The national Clinical Care Standards help to improve quality of patient care across Australia. Ten years on, the standards remain relevant and achievable to implement.
To celebrate this milestone anniversary five health services were recognised in the 10-year Anniversary Clinical Care Standards Excellence Awards.
The Commission is showcasing their five Stories of Excellence, showing how they achieved meaningful improvements with a Clinical Care Standard, and the challenges and opportunities along the way.
