Legal & Compliance

From AN-ACC funding to Quality Indicator (QI) reporting and clinical operations, HG recognises that the industry is facing critical shortages in experienced clinical leaders and managers. 

Fresh care minutes controversy has surfaced after the Government acknowledged it published inaccurate care minute targets that may have impacted some providers relying on Government data.

The Government has injected $2 billion into AN-ACC to raise the price, but as Mirus Australia explored in their most webinar, a sustainable strategy is still crucial for providers to make the most of their resources.

The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission recently released a new document outlining alternative clinical care requirements for aged care providers when a Registered Nurse (RN) is not on-site.

A lack of confidence in managing care minute data is one of the largest hurdles aged care providers currently face after Mirus Australia’s latest analysis of the AN-ACC transition.

The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission has released a new report for aged care providers exploring the complaints received by the Commission in the hope of delivering key insights into good complaint-handling processes.

Many aged care organisations are working on their readiness for Governance reforms. The creation of advisory bodies is particularly topical as this is the first time they have been regulated as part of the Governance system in a funded program.

Mirus’ November Industry Analysis Data release has revealed the industry has surpassed an important milestone: the sector-wide care minute average of 200 minutes per resident per day. This has been achieved thanks to an almost 5% increase in care minutes in the month of October, although stagnating Registered Nurse minutes mean there’s still work to be done.

For some, the journey to quality and safety compliance hasn’t seen them take the high road, but rather a high reliability approach. Regis Care’s Filomena Ciavarella shared her quality and safety learnings with hello leaders.

There are widespread concerns across the industry regarding the treatment of ENs and how their contribution to aged care is recognised by the Government.
