Comprehensive care – minimising harm model (Clinical Excellence Commission, CEC)
The CEC's Comprehensive care – minimising harm model focus on safe care for older people, especially those with frailty, cognitive impairment, and decreased mobility. It aligns with the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards (NSQHSS), Comprehensive Care and Partnering with Consumers standards.8 There will be a shift to identifying individual patient risk factors and implementing patient-focused interventions (fall and pressure injury risks have been included in the model as components of safe care). The model incorporates team safety fundamentals including safety huddles, post fall huddles, multidisciplinary team bedside rounds and clinical bedside handover. There are seven components of care to be considered to identify patient individual risk factors, with corresponding implementation of strategies to manage the risks in hospital.
