Aligns to the Final draft strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards (November 2023):
Standard 2 – The organisation, covering outcomes 2.1 – 2.10
Workshop overview:
Applying contemporary insights to regulatory compliance strategy and rules used by The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (ACQSC) is essential for approved Residential service providers to respond effectively and appropriately to Commission functions such as assessment contacts. Anecdotal evidence suggests providers are often left frustrated and surprised with ACQSC assessment activities when things go wrong and not according to past patterns.
Sector performance data published quarterly by ACQSC indicates an increase to non-compliances in various standards/requirements. This training session is designed for Residential Providers to inform how prior preparation and readiness influences assessment methodology and accreditation outcome.
Participate in a real-life simulation case study to assist your organisation with preparedness and readiness training, prior to, during and post assessment contact visits. Receive practical tips, network with others and secure quality compliance mentoring opportunities.
Who should attend:
Targeted towards Residential Providers –
Board members, CEOs, directors of nursing/facility managers, clinical/care managers, quality managers/coordinators, registered nurses.
Outcomes of this workshop:
- Understand changes to regulatory strategy and risk profiling approach by ACQSC assessors
- Identify deviations to regulatory rules and demonstrate confidence in preparedness to respond
- Recognise how totality of evidence applied to identified risks, remaining transparent and accountable to consumer outcomes leads to a strong compliance defence position
