The accreditation of Kaleeya Hospital was undertaken by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) as part of the accreditation of the Fremantle Hospital and Health Service, in February 2007. Kaleeya Hospital, as part of the Fremantle Hospital and Health Service, passed the accreditation process.
The ACHS surveyors made 2 'non-high priority' recommendations in relation to Kaleeya Hospital.
Firstly, '
Implement procedures to reduce the occurrence of patients arriving at operating theatres without a complete consent form and monitor the outcome of such procedures; and staff be familiar with privacy and consent policies regarding photography of patients in operating theatres'.
These procedures have now been implemented and are being monitored on a regular basis to ensure compliance.
The second recommendation made by the ACHS in relation to Kaleeya Hospital was that '
the Occupational Health and Safety and Infection Control representatives review the environment and cleaning processes following the installation of the extractor fan within the Endoscopic Unit at Kaleeya Hospital to ensure that staff concerns have been addressed'.
Representatives of Fremantle Hospital and Health Service Occupational Health and Safety and Infection Control committees have reviewed the environment and cleaning processes in the Endoscopy Unit. Staff concerns have been addressed with the installation of an extractor fan and the purchase of improved cleaning equipment. Staff have also been encouraged to wear appropriate personal protective equipment when required. The unit has undergone regular air and surface testing by an external company to confirm that the area meets occupational safety and health requirements.
The Minister for Health will not be tabling the accreditation report in Parliament. If the Member would like a copy of the relevant sections of the report relating to Kaleeya Hospital, the Chief Executive of the South Metropolitan Area Health Service can provide a copy to your office.
