Clinical Safety and Quality Indicators
At Calvary Riverina Hospital, we take quality and safety seriously. We also support a culture of openness and transparency to foster positive partnerships with our consumers. To provide transparency, we are pleased to publish hospital quality and safety data alongside the Australian Commission in Safety and Quality in Healthcare benchmarks.
We take falls prevention seriously
We will conduct a risk screen on arrival and will develop a personalised fall prevention plan to reduce the chances of any falls. Please make sure you come to our facility with properly fitted shoes with a non-slip sole and ensure you take the time to watch our educational “being involved in your care” video on our website/ hospital televisions to ensure your safety.
Calvary Riverina is keeping you safe. We are below industry benchmark in falls. We have embedded the traffic light falls prevention system within our hospital to ensure we can provide a strong falls prevention plan to maintain the safety of our patients.
What does this mean?
A lower number means fewer falls, we aim to have the lowest number and be under the industry benchmark. The number of falls is divided by the number of people who have been sent home from our facility. Doing this allows us to compare with industry.
We take infections seriously
At Calvary Riverina, high quality care is intended to be both reactive and proactive. Preventing any avoidable complications of your condition is one of our key objectives.
At Calvary Riverina we have an Infection Prevention and Control Coordinator that closely monitors healthcare associated infections to maintain the safety of our patients.
