Preventing harm
Patient safety is everyone’s responsibility and Moyne Health Services is committed to improving procedures and systems to prevent all errors that result in harm to a patient.

Controlling and preventing healthcare-associated infections
Moyne Health Services monitors and reports on the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections, specifically the Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteraemia (SAB) rate, which is a serious blood stream infection.
