This guide includes examples of suggested reflective questions, strategies for improvement and resources that multi-purpose services and small hospitals can use to implement the NSQHS Standards.

This report details the findings in published and grey literature, broader organisational performance principles, site visits and consultations with a diverse selection of health services in Australia and internationally and proposes a framework to guide health services towards better, person-centred care across a range of settings, systems and hospital types.
