National Consensus Statement: essential elements for recognising & responding to clinical deterioration

A guide to support implementation of the National Consensus Statement

This survey aims to provide acute care facilities with a tool for evaluating staff perceptions of the rapid response system.

The Short Guide to the Open Disclosure Standard Review Report summarises the key points of the review as reported in the Open Disclosure Standard Review Report.

 An escalation mapping exercise should be done to identify the parameters, thresholds, levels of abnormality, and responses that will be included in the recognition and response systems.

The purpose of this guide is to provide practical guidance for managers and practitioners responsible for credentialing, and for determining and managing, a health practitioner’s scope of clinical practice. This is an ancillary guide only. It does not replace or supersede state, territory or organisational policies on credentialing.

This guide explains what the 10 elements for safe and high-quality end-of-life care mean for you as a patient, and for families, carers and consumers.
