SBHC workbooks
About the workbooks
HSE Primary Care developed quality improvement and assessment workbooks for each of the National Standards for Safer Better Healthcare themes.
These workbooks have now been adapted for HSE and HSE funded addiction services.
The workbooks are intended to support assessment teams in preparing for assessment against each of the eight themes.
QuADS
A matching exercise found that most QuADS standards were embedded in the National Standards SBHC.
The suggested evidence listed for each standard includes evidence from the associated QuADS standards as appropriate.
The workbooks were amended to include the small number of QuADS standards not included in the National Standards.
