Abstract
Introduction: The Accreditation Collaborative for the
Conduct of Research, Evaluation and Designated
Investigations through Teamwork—Cost–Benefit
Analysis (ACCREDIT-CBA (Acute)) study is designed to
determine and make explicit the costs and benefits of
Australian acute care accreditation and to determine the
effectiveness of acute care accreditation in improving
patient safety and quality of care. The cost–benefit
analysis framework will be provided in the form of an
interactive model for industry partners, health
regulators and policy makers, accreditation agencies
and acute care service providers.
Methods and design: The study will use a mixedmethod
approach to identify, quantify and monetise the
costs and benefits of accreditation. Surveys, expert
panels, focus groups, interviews and primary and
secondary data analysis will be used in cross-sectional
and case study designs.
Ethics and dissemination: The University of New
South Wales Human Research Ethics Committee has
approved this project (approval number HREC 10274).
The results of the study will be reported via
peer-reviewed publications, conferences and
seminar resentations and will form part of a doctoral
thesis.
