About the Policy Implementation Review Group
The Policy Implementation Review Group (PIRG) was
formed at the request of the Chair, Reportable Incident Review
Committee (RIRC) to establish recommendations on a statewide
approach to policy implementation and sustainability.
The PIRG is due to report back to the RIRC in February 2008.
Objectives
- Identify issues associated with the failure to implement
existing policies.
- Formulate a guide on policy development and develop guidelines
for the successful implementation of policies across NSW
Health.
- Reduce the risk of clinical incidents because of a lack
of awareness of policy or failure to comply with policy.
- Integrate a policy formulation process within a policy
implementation process.
How do we achieve our objectives?
- Establish a working group.
- Conduct monthly meetings.
- Research the literature for information on human factors
that influence thinking on policy implementation.
- Request Corporate Governance & Risk Management to
review the way Area Health Service policies cascade to the
workforce.
- Study the challenges encountered by staff at the coal
face during roll-out of policies.
- Undertake a survey.
