Clinical Governance
Clinical Governance is a systematic approach to maintaining and improving the quality of patient care within a healthcare system. It involves a framework that ensures healthcare organizations are accountable for their services, focusing on safety, effectiveness, and patient-centered care. This includes regular assessments, audits, and feedback mechanisms to enhance clinical practices.
The key components of Clinical Governance include clinical effectiveness, patient safety, risk management, and patient involvement. By fostering a culture of continuous improvement, healthcare providers can better meet the needs of patients and ensure high standards of care are consistently delivered.
