Accreditation
Accreditation provides consistent and independent assurance
Accreditation of health services is a process through which services undergo external review against national and international standards in order to continuously improve quality of care.
All Calvary Hospitals are accredited using the National Safety & Quality Health Service Standards developed by the Australian Commission on Safety & Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC). These standards were introduced in 2013 to provide consistent and independent assurance about the quality and safety of healthcare services across Australia. From January 2019 the 2nd Edition of the National Safety & Quality Health Service Standards will commence.
