New Resources: Incident management fact sheet and Assessment outcome dashboard

The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (the Commission) has released new resources to support health services in the implementation and assessment of the National Clinical Trials Governance Framework (NCTGF).

• Incident management fact sheet

Provides guidance on identifying, reporting and managing clinical trial incidents in Health Service Organisations (HSOs). It includes examples of reportable incidents to help meet incident management requirements.

• Assessment outcome dashboard

The dashboard offers a national view of NCTGF implementation progress, aggregating maturity scale data and showing how many HSOs are registered or have completed assessments. It also highlights common issues, such as incident management and includes a feedback survey.

HSOs are encouraged to use these resources to support and improve clinical trial governance.
