Principles and Models for Engagement with Consumers in Health Care BAA546
Introduction
This unit investigates health care principles and models for engagement between patients, their carers and family, and professionals. The importance of consumer engagement and the association with effective, sustainable organisational governance systems is studied. This involves examining theories, systems, processes and actions for partnering with consumers and delivering comprehensive care.
To operationalise these requirements, this unit investigates the application of the NSQHSS Partnering with Consumers and Comprehensive Care Standards. Their dependency and integration with other standards in the NSQHSS are also reviewed.
