Recommendation 20
20
Paragraph: 143
Administrative compensation system improves investigations, requiring formal separation from external regulatory processes.
Conclusion
In the longer term, an administrative compensation system would address problems associated with inadequate investigations by undertaking inquisitorial, system- focused investigations with no examination of individual blame. This would build greater confidence amongst healthcare professionals that they could be open and forthright when contributing to investigations. However, to further support healthcare professionals, we believe that there should be formal separation between the administrative body’s investigative process and external regulatory processes.
