The Australian Resuscitation Council has released new guidelines for clinical practice and education for healthcare providers responsible for resuscitation services within healthcare institutions. It includes the provision of related education, the allocation of human and material resources to support provision of resuscitation services, a process for evaluation of the quality of resuscitation and its improvement. The education should enable individual staff to develop and maintain a level of competence commensurate with their roles within their healthcare setting. Standard 9 from the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards (2011) is “Recognising and Responding to Clinical Deterioration in Acute Health Care”. Standard 9 describes the systems and processes to be implemented by health services to respond effectively to patients when their clinical condition deteriorates. The guidelines are not limited to hospitals and the principles can be applied across the broad spectrum of health services. bit.ly/1k84Wuy
