The Commission is introducing a range of strategies to reduce potential and real conflicts of interest that are associated with accreditation processes.

In June 2008, the Commission published a paper related to recognising and responding to clinical deterioration of patients.

These processes are designed to promote improvements in performance across all approved accrediting agencies, ensure consistent implementation of revisions to the AHSSQA Scheme, as well as ensuring assessments are rigorous and completed within agreed timeframes.

This fact sheet outlines the process for health service organisations to submit an annual attestation statement to their accrediting agency.

The strategy is intended to facilitate the identification and sharing of information on safe and good-quality practice between organisations managing similar issues.
