Health care accreditation system in Australia

Year 2018, Volume: 5 Issue: 1, 54 - 59, 31.03.2018

Abstract

Increasing focus on patient safety, quality of health care and improving health outcomes around the world has led
policy makers, stakeholders and health care providers to create standardized processes. Accreditation is defined
as an intervention that promotes patient safety and health care delivery at a high level. Despite the fact that
national accreditation studies have been started in our country since 2015, the first examples in the world are
based on 40-50 years ago. One of the first examples was the accreditation of health services in Australia in 1974.
This study provides information about the Australian Health Care Accreditation System in the light of observations
of Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care made during the 6 month period in 2016 in Sydney.
It is thought that the research results will be useful for health policy makers, health professionals, academicians
and students

Avustralya’da sağlık hizmetleri akreditasyon sistemi

Year 2018, Volume: 5 Issue: 1, 54 - 59, 31.03.2018

Abstract

Dünya genelinde hasta güvenliği ve sağlık hizmetlerinin kalitesini artırmak, sağlık sonuçlarını iyileştirmek üzerine
odaklılığın artışı politika yapıcıları, paydaşları ve sağlık hizmet sunucularını standardize edilmiş süreçleri oluşturmaya
yönlendirmiştir. Akreditasyon uygulaması hasta güvenliği ve yüksek kalitede sağlık hizmeti sunumunu destekleyen
bir müdahale olarak tanımlanır. Ülkemizde 2015 yılından itibaren ulusal akreditasyon çalışmaları başlatılmış olmasına
rağmen dünyadaki ilk örnekleri 40-50 yıl öncesine dayanır. İlk örneklerden biri olan Avustralya’da sağlık hizmetleri
akreditasyonu 1974 yılında başlamıştır.
Bu çalışmada literatüre ve Sydney’de bulunan Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care adlı
kuruluşta 2016 yılında 6 aylık süre boyunca yapılan gözleme dayanan bilgiler ışığında, Avustralya Sağlık Hizmetleri
Akreditasyon Sistemi hakkında bilgi verilmektedir. Araştırma sonuçlarının sağlık politika yapıcılarına, sağlık
profesyonellerine, akademisyenlere ve öğrencilere çalışmalarında faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
