Your task
You are individually required to submit a 2000-word written report based on the evaluation of the
Clinical Safety, and Quality data in conjunction with the Annual Report and the Australian Safety and
Quality Framework for Health Care provided in MyKBS under the assessment tab.
Assessment Description.
In this individual assessment, you will be given an opportunity to evaluate how a healthcare
organisation is applying the Australian Safety and Quality Framework for Health Care by considering
how Australian policy frameworks and system dynamics are driving change and shaping the internal
operations of healthcare settings. You will need to demonstrate an understanding of the principles of
best practice leadership, team-building and organisational design in a healthcare setting. You will
further consider the need for sound financial management for healthcare organisations.
Assessment Instructions
It is a key responsibility of Healthcare Managers to ensure health policies and procedures are being
implemented effectively, efficiently and consistently in a healthcare setting. They need to ensure that
policies meet the goals of the organisation and are in line with legal and ethical requirements.
Using the information provided in the Australian Safety and Quality Framework for Health Care in
conjunction with the Clinical Safety and Quality Report and the Annual Report provided along with
other information found on the website of the designated healthcare organisation as well as any other
appropriate sources provide an evaluation of how effectively the provided healthcare organisation is
engaging with the Australian Safety and Quality Framework for Health Care.
Specifically, the three core principles from the Australian Safety and Quality Framework for Health
Care that you will be evaluating are:
1. Consumer Centred
2. Driven By Information
3. Organised For Safety
Being guided by the outlines of each core principle as provided in the Australian Safety and Quality
Framework for Health Care, you will evaluate the specific areas of action the provided healthcare
organisation has taken in response to the three core principles above and how well they are serving
