CLINICAL CARE STANDARDS
A clinical care standard is a small number of quality statements that describe the care patients should be offered for a specific clinical condition in line with current best evidence. Clinical care standards can play an important role in delivering appropriate care and reducing unwarranted clinical variation. All clinical staff need to be aware of the clinical care standards for Antimicrobial Stewardship , Delirium , and Venous Thromboembolism Prevention . You should also be aware of any other clinical care standards that are relevant to your area of work. When assessors visit Ryde Hospital they will expect to see evidence of care being provided which aligns with these standards.
