Accreditation

Griffith Rehabilitation Hospital is a fully accredited member of the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (www.achs.org.au) who work in partnership with us in establishing standards and procedures, which underpin the primary goal to provide the best quality of service and care. 

Griffith Rehabilitation Hospital received a full four-year accreditation following survey in August 2008, gaining EA (Excellence) for 23 of 43 criteria in areas including: Patient Care, Quality Improvement and Risk Management, Human Resource Management, Information Management, and Safety Management.

The Surveoyrs noted they had 'found a facility that was one of Quality and all that it means, and left feeling invigorated and positive', commending the leadership and staff on a high standard of service delivery and care. They recognised the commitment to best practice throughout the whole hospital, stating 'the hospital is dynamic and never stays still: always seeking a better way and the best outcome'.

The next scheduled ACHS Periodic Survey is due in September 2010.

Griffith Rehabilitation Hospital's commitment to quality improvement is ongoing, and current projects include:

• Streamlining and revision of Policy and Procedure
• Effective Goal Planning in conjunction with the patient/carer and the multidisciplinary team
• Staff education and practice responses to emergencies
• Renovation of the hospital kitchen to comply to standards and enhance the service
