National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards

With the release of the second edition of the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards in late 2017, all NT Hospitals will be assessed during hospital accreditation according to these updated standards. Mandatory short notice assessments to the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards will commence from July 2023 - see Short notice accreditation assessment  Facts sheet 17

The National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards have been developed to protect the public from harm and improve the quality of health service provision. The NSQHS Standards provide a nationally consistent statement about the level of care consumers can expect from health services.

The following searches have been developed, tested and endorsed as part of the HeLiNS : health libraries for the National Standards - outcomes of a national research project, a joint initiative of HLA and HLI (Health Libraries Inc).

 

They are not intended to be comprehensive, but aim to provide high relevance. The base search for each topic focuses on a hospital setting and is limited to the last 5 years.
