The first national standard of care for patients with anaphylaxis has been released today. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that requires medical treatment. The new standard emphasises the need for prompt treatment and continuity of patient care between acute and general practice healthcare settings.
This complete version of the Acute Anaphylaxis Clinical Care Standard includes information about using clinical care standards and the background to the Acute Anaphylaxis Clinical Care Standard. It provides descriptions of what each quality statement means for patients and their families, clinicians, and health service organisations, and indicators for local monitoring.
This Incident Management Guide consolidates best practice approaches based on literature reviews and the Australian states’ and territories’ incident management policies.
