Adelaide Community Healthcare Alliance Incorporated (ACHA), which comprises, Ashford Hospital, Flinders Private Hospital and The Memorial Hospital is a fully accredited member of the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) who work in partnership with us in establishing standards and procedures, which underpin the primary goal to provide the best quality of service and care.
ACHA received a full four-year accreditation following survey in July 2009, gaining EA (Excellence) for 6 of the criteria in Care Evaluation, Discharge & Transfer, Infection Control, Falls Management, Incident and Complaints Management, and Clinical & Corporate Policy.
The surveyors noted that staff, managers and Visiting Medical Officers on each ACHA campus is clearly committed to the provision of high quality care and services to patients. Whilst the surveyors recognised that the three hospitals have different physical environments, all three are welcoming and well presented facilities.
The surveyors also stated ‘the staff are welcoming and demonstrated a knowledge and commitment to the continuous improvement cycle’.
The next scheduled ACHS periodic Survey is due in July 2011.
