Some hints re preparing details we have identified so far for clients:
- Documents that may include details / information to prepare your submission:
- A recent past Accreditation Self Assessment which describes your policies and procedures
- Your Continuous Improvement Plan from P5Exec or otherwise
- Your Quality Assurance/Audit program identifying what you do each day, week, month, 6 months etc. to audit your systems and check Quality – this can be extracted from the P5Exec Tasks calendar feature – tagged Quality
- Incidents: print only the reports from the Individual Record History that are relevant as the ‘Complete Client Record’ includes every save of every form and will not provide the required detail in an easy to read format as it is designed to prove ‘saved data’ on a given date for e.g. a coronial inquest.
- Incidents: access the feature Reports/Quality Statistics and print out the report for the necessary date range however, provide a copy of the attached “How To Card P5CR04 Incidents and Infections Analysis v6” so viewers understand the context of the data shown:
- Compulsory Reportable incidents: Users with relevant permissions can access the ‘View Report’ feature of the Compulsory reportable Incidents feature however an organisation can also build its own List report to display these details and provide this report. An example re the selections to insert into such a report / register is included below – each organisation can select their own preferred content:
The Royal Commission quotes in its web-media page today:
“The hallmark of a civilised society is how it treats its most vulnerable people, and our elderly are often amongst our most physically, emotionally, and financially vulnerable. Frail and elderly members of our community deserve to, and should, be looked after in the best possible way, and we intend to do our best to see that it happens,” Commissioner Tracey said.
AND
“The likely major themes to be addressed include: quality and safety, access and inclusion, young people with disability, interfaces and transitions, future challenges and opportunities, and how to deliver quality in a sustainable way. We will look at the expectations of Australians for quality and safe care, how and where it should be provided and the workforce implications, amongst other things,” Commissioner Briggs said.
