The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (the Commission) has mapped the National Safety and Quality Digital Mental Health (NSQDMH) Standards against the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards.

This resource is for those health service organisations currently required to meet the NSQHS Standards that also intend to be accredited against the voluntary NSQDMH Standards.

The Escalation Mapping Template (EMT) is a quality improvement tool to assess the efficacy of health service providers’ systems to recognise and respond to deterioration in a person’s mental state.

Two groupers have been developed to support the implementation of the hospital-acquired complications (HACs) list. These tools can be used by hospitals, health services and system managers to identify and monitor HACs.

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for completing the self-assessment tool for the National Safety and Quality Digital Mental Health (NSQDMH) Standards.

This self-assessment tool is a resource that initially helps digital mental health service providers to determine how well they meet the National Safety and Quality Digital Mental Health (NSQDMH) Standards. Service providers are encouraged to review the NSQDMH Standards and assess and record their progress using the self-assessment tool.
