Vision Hospital Group’s longstanding experience in running specialist healthcare facilities, together with its recognised quality management systems, helps to ensure optimal outcomes for all patients.
RiverCity Private Hospital is licensed with QLD Health.
We are also accredited to ISO 9001 Quality Management Standards and the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards.
In accordance with our values, RiverCity Private Hospital endeavours to provide the highest level of customer service and optimise outcomes for our patients.
We achieve this by implementing quality management systems that meet the requirements of the internationally recognised ISO 9001:2015 standards, as well as the Australian National Safety and Quality Health Standards in our day surgeries.
Accreditation to these standards involves:
RiverCity Private Hospital implements a patient-centred care approach to improve the healthcare experience and outcomes for our patients.
RiverCity Private Hospital strives to achieve good corporate governance through effective risk management in a controlled and appropriate manner.
ISO 9001 is one of the most recognisable international standards for quality management – certification indicates that an organisation’s service or product meets a certain level of quality. ISO 9001 is the standard accepted by all private health funds.
The Australian NSQHS Standards provide a nationally consistent statement of the level of care consumers can expect from health service organisations.
A surveillance audit is undertaken regularly to ensure that our processes are monitored, maintained and reviewed and that improvements are continuously implemented. A re-certification audit is conducted every 12 months, with all safety and quality processes assessed to ensure the standards required by ISO 9001 and the NSQHS are still being exceeded.
As Australia’s largest private ophthalmology provider, our aim is to deliver world-class eye care to patients by focusing on the quality and safety of our services. We promise to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your medical care by focusing on three key areas: infection control, emotional safety and wellbeing and a commitment to quality – you can download our ‘In safe hands’ program outline here.
Patient safety is at the forefront of everything we do at RiverCity Private Hospital.
To ensure you have a patient experience that meets your expectations, we regularly seek feedback from our consumers to understand their changing needs and confirm that we are providing the best care for all our patients.
We strictly adhere to, and regularly audit, Infection Control processes and Hand Hygiene practices, and all our staff undertake mandatory annual competencies on these areas. We also take part in the National Antimicrobial Prescribing Survey and the Antimicrobial Stewardship, which tracks the use of antibiotics in our facility, to ensure we comply with the best practice for prescribing.
