BioClinical Services
BioClinical Services hosts and manages manufacturer-supplied equipment and device information for hospitals, ensuring 24/7 access by all staff via the organisation’s intranet. Hospital Acquired Infections, WH&S injuries, and other associated technology incidents are common occurrences, and the manufacturers’ information on the correct and compliant use of this technology in a hospital is both the organisation and individual’s responsibility – Reprocessing Instruments and the use of hoists, and other devices can result in serious, expensive and complex issues for the patients, staff and organisation. The standard for using these devices is the manufacturers’ User Manuals, Reprocessing Instructions, and associated manufacturer-supplied documentation.
Our Libraries ensure your organisation complies with NSQHS (Australian), MHRA & CQC Directives (United Kingdom) and ANSI/AAMI ST90, ST79 and TIR67 Standards (USA).
Clinical Documentation Improvement Australia
Clinical Documentation Improvement Australia (CDIA) was born out of a group of Australian doctors and nurses who observed how the quality of clinical documentation was impacting patients from a safety, quality and communication perspective, and hospitals from a funding perspective.
Since 2016, CDIA has partnered with many of Australia, New Zealand, and Saudi Arabia’s leading hospitals and have educated more than 9,000 clinicians and health professionals about clinical documentation improvement.
In 2021, CDIA supported the inaugural CDI-dedicated conference in Australia. CDIA also released the first ever Clinical Documentation Specialist Certification (CCDS) for countries using ICD-10-AM and the CDIA Community – the global home of healthcare professionals passionate about CDI.
