The Aged Care Clinical Information System (ACCIS) Standards comprise a list of technical standards, developed through consultations which included webinars with the aged care sector and targeted focus groups with software developers. The Standards are expressed as recommended minimum software requirements, for every Residential Aged Care Home’s Clinical Information System (CIS) and electronic Medication Management (EMM) software developer to incorporate into their product roadmaps.
The ACCIS Standards will help standardise information that is collected and the way it is shared, to support interoperability and improve the overall safety and quality of patients’ continuity of care.
The ACCIS Standards will be a significant enabler for digitisation in the sector and a precursor to a more connected, safe and interoperable sector.
