The EMT is a quality improvement tool to assist health service organisations to assess the effectiveness of their systems for recognising and responding to deterioration in a person’s mental state. The EMT supports services to identify existing local processes, map their alignment to the systemic recognition and response model, and evaluate their effectiveness. This tool will also support services to implement actions in the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards.
To enhance the user experience and navigation of the EMT, the Commission has updated the previous Excel version to an online web-based application. The new online EMT provides greater user functionality, including self-generated reports, interactive step-by-step prompts, links to Commission resources, multiple user collaboration, timestamps and more.
The new and improved EMT is available on the Commission’s website.
