In this webinar, Nicole and Megha described the important links between clinical governance and good clinical care outcomes. They showed how clinical governance is embedded within the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards. Using scenarios, they present how aged care providers can meet their clinical governance responsibilities.
Better technology is often assumed to lead to better care. But is this the case? This Health Foundation Report draws on a combination of clinician surveys, expert interviews, and a rapid review of existing literature to explore how clinicians might use their time saved through the adoption of healthcare technologies.
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) have been in use for many years. Their value in integrating the consumer experience with other care measures is well-recognised, however, they are yet to be universally adopted. The authors suggest that there are common challenges that health services must address to support successful implementation of PROMs and PREMs as ‘business as usual’ measures and suggest actions for tackling them.
As AI systems increasingly permeate clinical environments, the importance of establishing a structured approach to identifying, predicting and mitigating patient care safety risks grows. Recognising and addressing these risks is fundamental if AI is to fulfil its potential as a care guidance tool, without sacrificing patient safety in the process.
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) provides material for healthcare professionals on fulfilling their professional responsibilities across a range of issues. This guidance focuses on incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into clinical practice. It reminds us that practitioners remain accountable for delivering quality care, regardless of AI integration.
AICG was delighted to take part in a Women on Boards (WoB) Chat. Our Senior Manager of Education and Business Development, Dr Richard Huysmans, presented an overview of AICG’s clinical governance training — tailored for current and aspiring board members and executives.
When Paul ran a session with a senior medical group on accreditation, he was all ready to go through the standards; but then decided to take a different approach. What he learned made a difference to that accreditation assessment and has stood him in good stead ever since.
This webinar supported NDIS providers and healthcare organisations by outlining governance requirements and highlighting key risks for people with disabilities.
The London Protocol is a well-known framework designed to guide deep analysis of clinical incidents to improve safety. The 2025 revision of the Protocol introduces significant updates to strengthen the analysis of clinical incidents. A key enhancement is the increased emphasis on engaging patients and their families as active partners in the incident analysis process.
The critical role of nurses in clinical care and quality is well recognised. This integrative literature review used the Joanna Briggs Institute (2020) Critical Appraisal Tools to examine nurse empowerment. Findings show that empowered nurses are more likely to deliver quality care through better decision-making, greater autonomy, and a stronger professional identity. This, in turn, supports improved patient outcomes, higher job satisfaction, better adherence to safety protocols, and fewer medical errors.
