Quality

Accreditation and Quality Improvement processes are vital and ongoing at Kerang District Health.  The Health Service is currently accredited with the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards, the Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.  The HACC Services provided by KDH are also fully accredited. 

Hospital Accreditation - ACHS - Fully compliant - Accredited until 3 November 2020

Aged Care Accreditation - ACSAA - Fully compliant - Accredited until 7 March 2021 (Glenarm Nursing Home)

As part of the Australian Council on Health Care Standards accreditation process, periodic reviews are undertaken and recommendations resulting from the periodic reviews are addressed and reported to the ACHS via self-assessment reporting. Kerang District Health also elected, as part of the periodic review, to undergo a gap analysis against the ten National Standards. During 2016 the Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency carried out a support visit to “Glenarm” and no concerns were raised.
