Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
During the development of The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners Standards for general practices (3rd edition) in 2005, the unflagged (nonessential) indicator 'the practice has a defibrillator' was tested in a survey of 200 practices Australia wide. Defibrillators were present in 18% of these general practices: 20.5% of surveyed practices thought it was feasible to have a defibrillator and 32.5% thought it was acceptable to have one. With that feedback, the committee dropped this indicator from the final standards document. |
