The 2018 National Palliative Care Strategy’s guiding principles include early planning for and recognition of the need for end-of-life care for all people facing a life limiting illness.
The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care has engaged HealthConsult to develop and administer a national survey to assist in guiding quality improvement practices nationally. They wish to determine:
- the tools used by healthcare workers to identify patients nearing the end of life
- the extent to which these tools are used within different settings
- the facilitators and barriers for using the tools.
Please note:
- The survey will take five to 10 minutes to complete.
- All healthcare workers are invited to complete this survey.
- Your responses will be combined with those of all other respondents. The combined responses will form part of the overall data for a report that will go to the Commission.
- You or your organisation will not be identified in any reports or papers using information from this survey.
- All information collected will be kept strictly confidential and stored securely and will only be used for the purpose of this particular project.
If you have any questions about this survey, contact HealthConsult Project Manager, Amy Monk, on 9261 3707 or amy.monk@healthconsult.com.au or Angie Dalli from the Commission at angie.dalli@safetyandquality.gov.au
