Each of the eight aged care quality and safety standards requires a robust, detailed and evidence-based set of policies, processes, guidelines and frameworks to ensure your team understands their responsibilities and responds appropriately.
Some providers have internal resources to ensure that all the information is up-to-date; others outsource their requirements.
For organisations that manage this internally, this is quite a process in itself and takes a considerable amount of time and rigour to ensure that all the legislation changes and amends are continuously updated and then distributed. The document control process has to be strictly followed to safeguard best practices and meet compliance requirements.
For organistions that outsource and purchase policies, processes, manuals and frameworks, the foundation work has been done for you. You simply need to embed the documentation into your shared platform, align it to your organisation’s principles and delegation and update as required.
