the case and what impact it may have on attempts to
improve quality and safety in the NSQHS standard you have
chosen as the basis for your assignment.
 pick only one or at most two of the sub-criteria for the
NSQHS standard you select. Check before you start writing

Background
In health service organisation of Australia there are several processes followed in order to
reduce the number of medical errors.
The main objectives of this research include the following
Analyse medical reviews of patients, in line patients for evaluating the best practise
To analyse medical reviews that are dependent upon clinical needs of patients next day to
evaluate different requirements for documentation of medical reviews consisting of action
taken by the organisation.
Scope
Medicines are used in Different medical organisations. There are problems associated with
medicine which minimises the conduction of medical reviews and documentation. There are
also issues with partnerships with several patients. the Australian government has analysed
that there must be evidence based policies, procedures and guidelines which must be
followed for medical review and they should be taken in place for clinicians. A proper
process must be used for identification the risk that patient has is he or she is having a
medicine related problem.

GAP(S) MEASUREMENT (550 WORDS)
Measure Gap(s) between the current state of your health service organisation and the
National Safety and Quality Health Service standard/s you have chosen.
Identify current performance information and compare it to the desired level of performance
stated
in the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards. What improvements must occur
to satisfy the process owner and stakeholders? Use more than one level of analysis;
demonstrate the
use of at least two perspectives (macro, meso, micro) in the data you select.
The Clinical Governance Standard and the Partnering with Convince establish the
overarching system criteria for the remaining six standards, which address specific significant
diagnostic areas of patient care. The NSQHS Standards are designed to be implemented in an
integrated manner and explain the patient care journey. Across the NSQHS Standards, same
implementation strategies apply to a variety of tasks. It's critical to recognise the connections
between acts in each of the eight NSQHS Standards. This will assist health-care organisations
in ensuring that their safety and quality systems are connected, as well as reducing the
amount of effort required to apply the eight criteria independently. The NSQHS Standards
must be implemented by all facilities and day procedure services. They must create a
thorough clinical regulatory environment as well as organization-wide standards and quality
processes. With the NSQHS Standards in place and a physician management framework in
place, health service nonprofits can reduce the chance of injuries from inpatient infections,
incorrect medications, and communication problems, as well as improve the provision of
holistic diagnosis and services of an acutely client's condition. Comorbidities have been
linked to a higher incidence of drug mistakes. Patients with comorbidities engage with
healthcare providers more frequently, and they take more medications for longer periods of
time. Comorbidities have been linked to a higher incidence of drug mistakes. Administrative,
legislative, and medical groups must work to remove the mob mentality while providing
recommendations. When this goal is achieved, healthcare institutions will be free to measure

process ambitious targets, including all defects, so if the results are significant. Patients'
results should be improved while the risk of damage is reduced, according to experts. Despite
physicians' best efforts, medication error rates remain high, leading to significant mortality
and disability. Preventable medical errors account for a large portion of healthcare costs,
especially higher more for every healthcare insurance premiums. Medication mistakes can
only be decreased in terms of money and injury if health care professionals work together. A
complete management of a patient is not available in a country like Pakistan. Patients see a
variety of healthcare experts for a variety of illnesses. As a result of one prescriber's
perplexity and absence of health files, other prescribers make medication errors due to a lack
of awareness of the medication history (21). Workload was also found to be connected with a
higher incidence of medication mistakes. The efficiency of health workers might be harmed
by overburdening and weariness. Reducing the burden could be beneficial.
OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE (450 WORDS)
Research and assess ideas with ability to be adapted and implemented in one site.
There are few issues which can be solved associated with the medical related issue in
Australian organisations. These steps are mentioned below:
Conducting evidence based medical review: it is insured that medication reviews must be
conducted and supervised by the medical professional with proper expertise and skill. This is
acting as a multidisciplinary team. In Australian organisations, large companies have the
facility of having pharmacists which are the main provider of medication review services.
This is an important perspective towards the inherent of pharmacist, medicines and the
reviews are considered while taking decisions upon dispensing, prescribing and administering
tea medicines to patients. There are different type of medicines and these are reviewed and
considered on the basis of validity, clarity and appropriateness. It is also evaluated that the
experience of patient while using the medicine and its requirement over the time have not
been changed. At the time of admission to a health service organisation, it is properly
evaluated that medicine related issues are not faced by the patient.
There are several activities involved in the proper analysis and description of significance
required for medical error in practise of medicine. This consists of highlighting several
