Clinical Care Standards Reporting Made Simple

Supporting Compliance, Quality Improvement and Better Patient Outcomes

Clinical Care Standards (CCS) provide a nationally consistent framework for delivering evidence-based care and reducing unwarranted variation in healthcare.

Developed by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare (ACSQHC), the Clinical Care Standards help healthcare organisations measure performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and improve patient outcomes.

ACHS offers accreditation Members complimentary access to the Clinical Care Standards monitoring through Metrik. Metrik is our advanced data performance system that streamlines data collection, benchmarking, reporting and analysis.

What are Clinical Care Standards (CCS)?

CCS are based on data suggesting unwarranted variation in care.
CCS describe the care that people can expect to be offered for a specific condition, treatment or procedure regardless of where they are receiving care in Australia.
CCS play an important role in the delivery of high-quality care and are based on general principles for providing care that is person centred, culturally safe, equitable and appropriate.
