To support the use of the Consensus Statement: Essential Elements for Recognising and Responding to Clinical Deterioration, the Commission is developing an implementation guide containing information about why and how to implement each essential element.
The guide will be available in early 2012.
If you would like further information please email Jennifer Hill, Senior Project Officer, at jennifer.hill@safetyandquality.gov.au, or contact Jennifer on (02) 9126 3591.
