Open Disclosure & Statutory Duty of Candour
Open disclosure promotes a clear and consistent approach to open communication with patients and their nominated support person following an adverse event. It includes guidelines for discussion about what has happened, why it happened, and what is being done to prevent it happening again.
Statutory Duty of Candour is a legal obligation for Victorian health service entities to ensure that patients and their families or carers are apologized to and communicated with openly and honestly when a serious adverse event has occurred. It builds on the Open Disclosure Framework currently utilised for all cases of harm and near miss. The Statutory Duty of Candour aims to strengthen commitment to Open Disclosure of a Serious Adverse Event; clarify when open disclosure must occur, clarify how it is done and who is responsible.
If this happens, you can expect to have an open discussion with a member of your treating team, your family members and / or carer(s) about:
- what happened
- what is being done about it
- the steps the hospital is taking to prevent it from happening again
Please refer to the policy and process below for further information. If you require any information or wish to discuss further, you may contact our Executive Team on (03) 5132 1200.
