Implementation checklist
Guideline Implementation Checklist (PDF, 221kB)
Guideline Implementation Checklist (Microsoft word, 385kB)
The Guideline Implementation Checklist assists facilities and Hospital and Health Services to embed Queensland clinical guidelines in clinical practice and quality activities. The checklist is designed to support of the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) standards.
The Checklist focuses on 4 areas of guideline implementation:
- Governance systems
Systems to promote and support guideline integration are established and utilised - Awareness and distribution
Staff are informed about opportunities to participate in guideline development and the publication of new or amended guidelines - Clinical education
Clinical education is provided on clinical guidelines - Quality and safety
Clinical care is aligned with guideline recommendations
The suggested strategies may be customised as relevant to the guideline and local resources and practices.
