Consultation now open: Cataract Clinical Care Standard

Comments are sought from healthcare professionals, peak healthcare and consumer organisations, consumers and any other interested parties.

A clinical care standard contains a small number of quality statements that describe the clinical care that a patient should be offered for a specific clinical condition and supports:

• People to know what care should be offered by their healthcare system, and to make informed treatment decisions in partnership with their clinicians
• Clinicians to make decisions about appropriate care
• Health service organisations to examine the performance of their organisation and make improvements in the care they provide.

The consultation period will be open from 22 February 2019 until 11:59 pm on 5 April 2019 .
