EQuIP for a full range of health care organisations

The Evaluation and Quality Improvement Program is generically designed to provide for all types of organisations which provide health care. These include:

·         acute or long term hospital services- it is possible to have a single hospital as a member or several hospitals linked into a single membership. Larger memberships are required to be linked under the same management and have the same overall policies and procedures.

·         day  procedure services.

·        domiciliary / community / population health services-

·        specialist care services such as palliative care, mental health services, pain services, methadone services etc.

·         rural and remote health services

·         area / district / network / clustered comprehensive services.- If the service is to be a single EQuIP member, it must be a structural entity with a single overall management structure and of "surveyable" size and complexity. The relevant 'Customer Services Manager' can provide further information.

EQuIP membership could be:

·          sole owners or partnerships

·          government agencies

·          community and charitable bodies

·          private commercial entities

To assist EQuIP members, numerous resources have been developed and these are provided free to EQuIP members via the ACHS website or can be purchased.
