The Consensus Statement describes 10 essential elements for the provision of end-of-life care in settings where acute care is provided.

The Consensus Statement describes eight essential elements for prompt and reliable recognition of, and response to, physiological deterioration of patients in acute healthcare facilities in Australia.

The clinician survey is part of the end-of-life care audit toolkit and is made up of 31 questions designed to be undertaken across four demographics; consultants, junior doctors, nurses and allied health professionals.

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

The purpose of this background paper was to present a précis of the policy and clinical framework for end-of-life care within the Australian acute healthcare setting and as interpreted by consumers, clinicians and policy makers in 2013.

This report details the process of testing the tools that helped form the end-of-life care audit toolkit.

This tool is designed to assist with the development of an escalation protocol and track and trigger system.

This tool may assist individual clinical areas or whole facilities to develop robust evaluation plans for recognition and response systems.
