Open Disclosure

Burnside Hospital follows an Open Disclosure policy when unexpected events occur in patient care.

Our Open Disclosure policy ensures that patients are fully informed and supported if they experience unintended harm during their healthcare journey.

More information about our Open Disclosure policy and process is available on the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) website.
