- reflect key safety and quality priorities
- are easy to understand and free from duplication
- clearly describe the expectations of health services
- can be strengthened to better support the delivery of high-quality care
- reduce compliance burden while maintaining safety and quality
If you are a consumer or patient, please complete the consumer survey.
