Fresenius Medical Care continues to set the benchmark for excellence in Australian dialysis clinics

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIAMedia OutReach - 15 March 2018 - The Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS), Australia's leading independent authority on healthcare, has recognised the high standard of care that Fresenius Medical Care provides to patients by awarding accreditation to the company's network of 16 dialysis clinics, with clinics achieving the highest possible rating 'Met with Merit' in five important areas.

Full accreditation against the ten National Safety and Quality in Healthcare Standards as well as the five EQuIPNational Standards was awarded by ACHS in December 2017.

In 2015, Fresenius Medical Care was the first healthcare organisation in Australia to achieve nationwide accreditation under the EQuIPNational Day Procedure Centres program.

The 2017 accreditation, which will continue until 2020, demonstrates the company's culture of continuous quality improvement and the consistently high standard of care that all patients can expect.

Fresenius Medical Care Vice President and Managing Director Australia and New Zealand, Margot Hurwitz said EQuIPNational is a rigorous, consumer-focused program that measures how effective a healthcare organisation is in terms of patient care.

"ACHS accreditation sends a clear message to the community that Fresenius Medical Care is committed to excellence in healthcare", added Mrs Hurwitz.

"Importantly, this means that our patients can expect the same quality of care at our clinics, whether they are located in the city, regional, or even remote settings."

In addition to meeting all fifteen standards, Fresenius Medical Care achieved the highest possible Met with Merit level of recognition in five areas, including orientation and ongoing training programs for both staff and patients, infection control and medication management.
