Clinical guidelines are based on the best available scientific evidence and provide formal conclusion or recommendations about appropriate and necessary care for specific types of patients. While policies usually require clinical or non-clinical guidelines, not all clinical guidelines require a policy base. Clinical guidelines that communicate best practice can be used to encourage improvements while not officially requiring a change in behaviour through adoption as policy. Clinical Pathway A plan that details optimal sequencing and timing of interventions by health care staff for a particular diagnosis or procedure. Clinical pathways are developed by multi-disciplinary teams for a defined patient population using evidence-based medicine (literature review and current research information) current practice data and caregiver knowledge. The actual status of a patient is compared to that anticipated by the relevant pathway. Variations are identified and remedial action taken as appropriate. A clinical pathway may be specified in a clinical guideline. NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 85 25 June 2010 FREEDOM OF INFORMATION 243 Policy (PO) A policy is defined as a directive or decision that requires compliance or formal guidance. Legislation, professional codes, supplier guidance or state/local precedent may generate the need for a policy to be developed. The policy tells you what the directive or decision is, and why. Procedure (PR) A set of documented instructions on the approved and recommended steps for a particular act or sequent of acts (ACHS). Procedures direct the practical implementation of a policy and must have a secure evidence base and consistent application. Procedures tell you how.

Information Act 1989 (FOI Act), the NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) is required to prepare a Statement of Affairs which describes its structure and functions; how those functions affect members of the public; how the public can participate in policy development; documents held by the NSW RFS; and how people can access those documents or seek amendment to documents concerning their personal affairs. Structure and functions As at June 2010 the NSW RFS comprises the following directorates: • Regional Services • Operational Services • Executive Services • Membership and Strategic Services • Infrastructure Services Effect of functions on members of the public The NSW RFS’s purpose is to protect the community and the environment by minimising the impact of fire and other emergencies. The NSW RFS achieves this by providing the highest standards of training, community education, prevention and operational capability through a community-based fire and emergency service. These functions have a broad effect on members of the public, for example, through: • the agency’s role in assessing development proposals on bush fire prone land; • planning and conducting hazard reduction operations to reduce the risk of bush fires; • encouraging awareness of bush fire risks and measures which can reduce those risks; and • the agency’s role in responding to fires and other emergencies. Public participation in policy formulation The prevention and suppression of fires depends on community commitment and involvement at all levels, from policy development to everyday business, recreational or domestic activities. The NSW RFS works with all sectors, including volunteers, business, industry, individuals, and State, local and federal government bodies to implement an integrated fire protection framework for Rural Fire Districts. The community participates in policy formulation through various consultative bodies. The NSW RFS seeks public submissions when developing and reviewing legislation, policies, plans and programs. Documents held by the NSW RFS and how you can obtain them While many documents held by the NSW RFS are available to the public free of charge or can be viewed or purchased, access to other documents may require an application under the FOI Act or the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998.
