National Standards Assessment Program
The National Standards Assessment Program (NSAP) is a national framework for continuous quality improvement available for all specialist palliative care services across Australia. It is a resource that enables services to engage in improvement through self-assessment against the national standards [23], action plan development and implementation, as well as peer mentorship. Following a successful pilot NSAP was formally launched in July 2009 and now has 138 services participating in the program. The NSAP process delivers meaningful, useful and actionable quality improvement information at a service, state/territory and national level.
NSAP is funded by the Department of Health and Ageing through the National Palliative Care Program.
