Summary
The National Standards Assessment Program (NSAP) project is funded by the Australian Government with the aim of supporting policy goals set out in the National Palliative Care Program and National Palliative Care Strategy particularly to improve the quality of palliative care. NSAP has an overall aim of supporting palliative care to move towards best practice, as set out in the agreed National Palliative Care Standards, through developing resources that will support and enhance the ability of palliative care services to improve the quality of care within their existing quality improvement process and accreditation cycle.
The NSAP Project will be implemented over the next 3 years from 2007-2010 and is planned in phases to ensure broad-based consultation, coordinated resource development, maximum participation and sector engagement.
Further details on the NSAP project can be found on the National Standards section Palliative Care Australia.
