Analyse history and development of safe and quality healthcare in Australia. Lead a strategic and coordinated healthcare approach.Collaborate with consumers, staff, researchers and policy makers to improve safety and quality for healthcare providers

Adverse events and poor quality care can have a significant impact on health care costs and health system sustainability. This subject is essential for future leaders in health care who need to have specialised knowledge and skill in applying effective quality measures in a digital environment to administer culturally safe health services across a variety of healthcare contexts.In this subject, students will explore the emergence of the quality movement and accreditation and safety standards that have been progressively driven by consumer expectations around safe, quality care, in preparing to become effective health care administrators. This foundational knowledge is required to enable interpretation and evaluation of paper based and digitally supported, quality and safety processes and to develop a repertoire of quality improvement tools used to create strategies that improve quality and safety processes.The aim of this subject is to ensure that students can effectively promote quality and safety leading to better health outcomes as well as cost efficiencies in a variety of health care settings. Managing health care in this way ensures that safe, quality care is a transformative process of continuous improvement that respects the dignity of individuals and contributes to the common good.

Quality and Safety in Health Care

This subject of study will enable the student to consolidate understanding and application of the methods and instruments that form the foundation for monitoring quality and safety of healthcare delivery ensuring optimal outcomes. Students will analyse the leadership and organisational factors integral to the development of a strong clinical governance framework. Knowledge gained in this course will equip students to strengthen clinical governance frameworks and patient safety processes in many and varied health services and settings. Deep exploration of clinical governance undertaken in this course will empower students to ensure that quality healthcare standards are maintained and to become agents of change for the benefit of patients, colleagues and healthcare systems.

Clinical Governance

The organisational resilience and communication fields of knowledge provide frameworks to review clinical governance arrangements. Additionally, quality improvement theory, techniques and approaches are addressed to equip professionals with the practical skills to enhance safe, high-quality care. This knowledge is used to investigate how to achieve effective performance and monitoring systems.To operationalise these requirements, this subject investigates the application of the National Safety and Quality in Health Service (NSQHS) Communicating for Safety and Recognising and Responding to Acute Deterioration Blood Safety Management Standards. Their necessity and integration with other standards in the NSQHS are also reviewed.

Communicating Safety and Quality in Healthcare

The implementation science and organisational reliability fields of knowledge are drawn upon to illuminate safety and quality centrality to clinical governance. This knowledge is used to investigate how to achieve effective performance and monitoring systems that support and promote clinical safety and quality, accountability and transparency within organisations for healthcare users, the workforce and community.To operationalise these requirements, this subject investigates the application of the National Safety and Quality in Health Service (NSQHS) Preventing and Controlling Infections and Medication Safety standards. Their necessity and integration with other standards in the NSQHS are also reviewed.

Integrating Governance Systems and Structures into Safety and Quality in Healthcare
