QUALITY

Health organisations strive to provide the best possible care for their patients, residents and clients. Accreditation is a mandatory process for all Victorian public acute health services and all providers of aged care residential care services.

Accreditation is an audit process focusing on continuous improvement.  It includes an internal assessment process which identifies areas of improvement against expected outcomes.  If gaps are identified changes are introduced to address these gaps.   An independent body then assess the organisations ability to demonstrate their compliance with required quality standards. 

 Receiving accreditation status is recognition from an independent assessor that an organisation is able to demonstrate the quality and safety of the services they provide and their commitment to continuous improvement.
