Are you involved in providing health care to people with intellectual disability? Have your say on new intellectual disability resources
The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care are seeking feedback on new resources and would value your input.
The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care has drafted a fact sheet series for clinicians and health service organisations to help them provide safe, high-quality health care to people living with intellectual disability.
The resources further support health service organisations implementing cognitive impairment actions in the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards.
For review are four fact sheets to support health service organisations to address safety and quality issues, person-centred care, comprehensive care and governance. They highlight specific strategies for improvement, examples of good practice and links to helpful resources. There is also a fact sheet outlining key actions for clinicians.
The Commission welcomes a flexible approach to feedback. You can respond to our online survey of four simple questions or contact the Commission directly via email.
The sheets have been co-designed with people with intellectual disability and were funded by the Australian Government Department of Health as part of the Primary Care Enhancement Program (PCEP).
This article is being promoted as a part of CESPHN’s PCEP Project GROW: Strengthening the skills of GPs and other health professionals to provide effective and efficient healthcare for people with intellectual disability.
Project GROW provides:
Information, tools and resources for primary care providers to support people with intellectual disability
Whole of practice education sessions and CPD training
Navigation support to improve coordination of care
Advocacy for equitable access to health services for people with intellectual
