Abstract
- The article discusses a national survey conducted by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care on the issue of clinical deterioration in hospital patients. Covering more than 200 hospitals and medical facilities in Australia, the survey showed that most Australian hospitals have systems in place for recognizing and responding to clinical deterioration. Points for improvement as well as effective clinical strategies being implemented in hospitals are also cited.
