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 MATER healthcare organisation as well as any other appropriate sources provide an evaluation of how effectively the MATER 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

Questions

1, Integrate an evaluation of how the organisational structure, leadership or teamwork in the provided healthcare organisation supports safety and quality of care.

2. Further integrate and evaluation on how funding sources and financial management and utilisation support quality and safety.

3. Based on the evaluation, you will attempt to determine areas that could be improved within the organisation and provide a set of recommendations that are well justified that the healthcare organisation could implement now and into the future.
