CEC Strategic Plan 2024-2027
21 August 2024
The purpose of the NSW public health system is to provide safe, high-quality, accessible, person-centred care.
The Clinical Excellence Commission (CEC) seeks to make a positive difference to patients, staff, and their communities by equipping healthcare workers with the knowledge, tools, and resources they need to create a culture that ensures patients receive safe, high-quality care.
The CEC's Strategic Plan 2024-2027 represents that commitment. The three-year plan has a clear goal to work with health services across the state to embed safety strategically across all areas of the NSW Health system. The plan also showcases the CEC's goals to:
- strengthen its capacity to identify and respond to patient safety priorities
- work across the system to identify opportunities, processes and functions aligned with the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards
- continue to evaluate outcomes
- appraise and prioritise CEC-led activities
- identify opportunities for safety innovation.
It is part of the CEC's nine-year direction that aligns with the goals of NSW Future Health. That direction aims to:
- embed and mature a safety system model
- monitor, predict and respond to system patient safety issues
- provide leadership for continuous improvement of clinical governance systems, processes and functions across NSW Health organisations
- lead the development and co-production of evidence-based statewide patient safety priority improvements.
