This webinar is designed to update our members with the key improvements from the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare.
Key functions of the Commission include: developing national safety and quality standards, developing clinical care standards to improve the implementation of evidence-based health care, coordinating work in specific areas to improve outcomes for patients and providing information, publications and resources about safety and quality.

Amanda will highlight recent key improvements from the Commissions activities and relate such work to the ongoing efforts of ANZA SIDM to improve diagnosis.
