Children's Emergency Care Project Toolkit
The purpose of this toolkit is to showcase tools developed by the pilot site teams in implementing the paediatric emergency care guidelines. It includes experiences of the pilot site teams and draws together a number of strategies and tools that they have found useful in implementing the guidelines.
It also draws on the experience and resources utilised by other improvement projects that have been undertaken by the Clinical Excellence Commission in partnership with other health care agencies.
These are:
- Improving patient access to acute care services. A practical toolkit for use in public hospitals
(Clinical Excellence Commission) - National Medication Safety Breakthrough Collaborative toolkit
(Australian Council for Safety and Quality in Health Care) - NSW Chronic Care Collaborative
(in partnership with NSW Department of Health)
Improving Patient Access to Acute Care Services Toolkit
This Toolkit is designed to be an aid to you and your organisation should you choose to embark upon the journey to improve patient access to acute services. The Toolkit is a compilation of strategies and ideas from multiple sources. It is aimed at hospitals providing acute adult medical and surgical care, although many of the principles may be applicable in obstetric, paediatric and mental health services.
