The Accident Compensation Act 2001 has, as its overriding goal, to minimise both the overall incidence of injury in the community, and the impact of injury on the community (including economic, social, and personal costs). Claims for treatment injury can only be accepted according to the legislation. The two key provisions are that there must be a physical injury, and this has to be causally related to treatment delivered by one or more registered health professional. However, if the injury is a necessary part or ordinary consequence of the treatment it cannot be accepted as a treatment injury claim.
Preventing or reducing treatment injury is an important goal for ACC and will be achieved through helping the health sector improve the safety of healthcare. The main prevention principle is that potential harm can be identified and mitigated so risk can be reduced to others in the future. It is largely clinicians, their managers and clinical trainers who are best placed to identify and mitigate risk.
