Abstract

Abstract: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a complex medical procedure, the delivery of which requires specialist knowledge and skills. We reviewed the standards required for ECT credentialing in different jurisdictions in Australia. We reviewed the Chief Psychiatrist guidelines and statewide policy standards on ECT and focused on standards required for initial credentialing and ongoing privileging in ECT. We compared the credentialing requirements within these documents with the standards specified in the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists professional practice guideline for ECT. Most of the jurisdictions had specific standards for initial credentialing and maintenance of this credentialing; however, there was significant variance in the credentialing process and standards required. It would be useful to have a minimum standard for credentialing for ECT psychiatrists and prescribers. This standard would be relevant for practice of ECT internationally. States and territories would have the responsibility for implementation of these standards. Appropriate training and establishing good clinical governance processes are essential to the provision of high quality ECT.

精神科医生电休克疗法资格认证--澳大利亚各州和地区所需标准回顾。
摘要:电休克疗法(ECT)是一种复杂的医疗程序,其实施需要专业知识和技能。我们对澳大利亚不同辖区的电休克疗法资格认证标准进行了审查。我们审查了有关 ECT 的首席精神科医师指南和全州政策标准,并重点关注了 ECT 初始资格认证和持续特权认证所需的标准。我们将这些文件中的资格认证要求与澳大利亚和新西兰皇家精神科医师学院 ECT 专业实践指南中规定的标准进行了比较。大多数辖区都制定了初始资格认证和维持资格认证的具体标准;但是,在资格认证程序和所需标准方面存在很大差异。为电痉挛疗法精神科医生和处方者制定最低认证标准将是有益的。这一标准将与国际上的电痉挛疗法实践相关。各州和地区有责任实施这些标准。适当的培训和建立良好的临床管理程序对提供高质量的电痉挛疗法至关重要。
