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

Opioid therapy should be monitored regularly by assessing what has been called the '5As' of Analgesia therapy. This monitoring tool will assist you in adapting the treatment and management plan of your patients.

The electronic tool is designed to measure use of the pre-printed NIMC VTE prophylaxis section safety elements. It can be used to collect pre-implementation and post-implementation audit data, and report on audit data.

The User Guide has been developed to provide information on how to conduct an audit of the NIMC VTE prophylaxis section, and how to use the Excel audit and reporting tool. 

On 28 April 2021, the Commission released the Fourth Australian Atlas of Healthcare Variation.
