What is the definition of “clinical appropriateness” that a QAC is responsible for?
Healthcare Services (General) Regulations, Committees appointed by licensee
Appropriateness of clinical care is determined by the extent to which the relevant and required clinical care plans and procedures are executed properly; patients are subject to healthcare resources and procedures based on evidence that such resources and procedures can help the patients; and healthcare practices with proven benefits to patients are employed, as required.
