Abstract
Regulatory bodies continually confront the issue of how to diffuse health policies effectively,particularly those directed at changing frontline clinical practice. Our study examined thediffusion the Australian National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards, representedvisually by icons, across the healthcare system. By mid-2015, over 440 applications to use theicons had been received from healthcare organisations. Icons are being used for educational andclinical awareness raising purposes in diverse settings within organisations, across all states andterritories. The representation of policy in the form of icons has allowed for ease of distribution,uptake, presentation, and recognition. The icons are an effective strategy for both the widespreaddiffusion and local ownership of a national health policy to those at the frontline of healthcaredelivery.
