Quality

A culture of quality

We are committed to providing excellent holistic care across our services, increasingly caring for people at various stages of their lives.

St John of God Hospital Bunbury aspires to meet and exceed industry best practice.

We evaluate our success and inform our continuous improvement programs by involving patients and clients, peak industry bodies, and community and government representatives.

We also participate in qualitative and quantitative measures such as accreditation, quality and clinical risk management, clinical audits, reviews and benchmarking.

Quality and clinical risk management

Our quality and clinical risk management systems ensure patient
safety and quality outcomes and enable us to monitor and learn from
any adverse events.

Accreditation

Our hospital is accredited by the independent
Australian Council on Healthcare Standards.

St John of God Hospital Bunbury's results remain consistently high as we aim for continuous improvement across both our hospital and community services.

Under its Evaluation and Quality Improvement Program, accreditation surveys are conducted on a rolling four year cycle, with a major survey every four years and a periodic review ever two years.

During a major survey, our performance is reviewed against 45 criteria, including 14 mandatory criteria in the functional areas of clinical, corporate and support.
