Clinical governance, safety and quality, and compliance each play a vital role in healthcare. Together, they form the foundation for accountability, continuous improvement, and excellence in patient care.
When people talk about clinical governance frameworks, the conversation often turns to big documents, detailed diagrams, or long lists of standards. At AICG, we wanted to create a framework that is deliberately operational. It is designed so that boards, executives, clinicians, support staff, and consumers can immediately see where it fits, what it is responsible for, and how it can contribute to better outcomes.
What if the drive to meet standards and deliver on your KPIs is failing to deliver quality care? What if, by meeting the standards and your Statement of Priority performance indicators, you inadvertently make care worse? In this webinar, Kylie outlines how the drive to meet standards and KPIs can actually lead to poor patient outcomes, and how to safeguard against this.
The SCV Quality Improvement Toolkit includes fact sheets, practical tools, templates and resources to help you improve the quality of care, developed for Victorian Health Services.
This longitudinal assessment of a new electronic audit and feedback (e-A&F) system in a large tertiary hospital was conducted to determine the system's impact on patient safety outcomes over an extended period.
This IHI blog reinforces the importance of SPC charts and provides links to tools and guides for their use.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a valuable tool in healthcare for identifying systemic factors that contribute to errors. However, its traditional deterministic approach often focuses on finding a single root cause, typically human error, which can limit its effectiveness in preventing future adverse events. This narrow focus is compounded by hindsight bias, where the outcome influences how past decisions and actions are judged. As a result, conventional RCA can inadvertently damage organisational culture by attributing blame instead of addressing system-level issues.
The Registry of Senior Australians (ROSA) have released its latest ROSA Outcome Monitoring System (OMS) report, a quality and safety monitoring and benchmarking system designed to promote quality improvement, transparency, and accountability for the aged care sector.
What is the role of benchmarking data in good clinical governance? In this webinar, Health Roundtable discussed the role of risk-adjusted benchmarking and how it works, examples of where data has been used to improve clinical governance, how to make data accessible to clinicians and evidence to make the case for improvement.
Across human services, organisations struggle with the right response to quality data. Too often we spend time and resources ‘fixing’ the right thing – or addressing the right thing but not fixing it.
