ACHS Short Notice Webinar Recap
ACHS Short Notice Assessment webinar recording is available for viewing on the Member Portal.
To support our Members with the transition to short notice assessments, as mandated by the Commission from July 2023, we have uploaded a recording of our most recent live information webinar onto the Member Portal.
Mandatory short notice assessment to the NSQHS Standards replaced existing announced and voluntary short notice assessments of hospital and day procedure services. These assessments support continuous implementation of the Standards and reduce the administrative burden of preparing for an accreditation assessment.
Our webinar, hosted by the ACHS Customer Service Manager (CSM) Team, features presentations from two ACHS Member Organisations, Sunshine Coast Health and St John of God Berwick Hospital, who have extensive experience with short notice assessments.
Webinar Learning Outcomes
