The following principles apply to quality and safety reviews—
(a) the reporting and acknowledgement of errors that occur in the course of providing a health service is to be encouraged by ensuring that the review process focuses on systemic issues rather than individual fault;
(b) health service entities should be accountable to patients for the services they provide;
(c) improvements that may be made to the organisational or physical structures , functions, workplace culture and outcomes of the provision of the health service should be the focus of the review;
(d) the review should be conducted as soon as practicable and the Chief Quality and Safety Officer should specify the likely duration of the review when the review is commenced;
(e) the review should encourage good communication and sharing of information between people involved in providing the health service.
