An online tool has been developed to assist breast diagnostic services to self-assess their practices against the standard of care. The tool enables services to incorporate a risk management framework which supports ongoing quality improvement.
All facilities offering the triple test as part of the one episode of service are invited to participate in this quality improvement activity.
Services who complete the online tool will receive a summary report of their performance. The report can provide the basis for a quality improvement framework.
All information provided as part of completing the online self-assessment tool will remain confidential. Individual service information will not be published.
The Standard of care for breast diagnostic services has been mapped to the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) accreditation program Evaluation and Quality Improvement Program 4th edition (EQuIP 4). Services registered with the ACHS EQuIP4 program can cross reference the standard of care for breast diagnostic services.
Before accessing the online tool, you are encouraged to download and look through a hard copy of the online tool, and instructions prior to commencing entry of your service data into the survey.
