Safe and compassionate care is the foundation of all services at the Royal Hobart Hospital.
Ways we achieve this include:
- Participating in the hospital accreditation processes of the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards.
- Connecting with the community and listening to commendations and suggestions.
- Measuring the care provided and comparing this information to other like hospitals around Australia.
- Learning from when things do go wrong and making changes.
- Making sure that all staff members have the skills and qualifications needed to perform their job through looking at evidence of qualifications, regular review and by having appropriate processes for appointing staff and developing their skills.
- Actively participating in research to provide the most up-to-date care available.
- Supporting ‘ongoing’ learning.
The Royal Hobart Hospital provides staff and an appropriate structure for the community and the hospital to work together continuously to improve our service.
