'Everyday' Clinical Leadership: A Foundation for Successful Clinical Governance

Clinical leadership has long been an aspiration for acute care services. When wielded effectively, it is a key lever in creating consistently high quality care, and can also contribute to greater job satisfaction. But clinical leadership can also be just another buzz term, not dissimilar to ‘person-centred,’ as something everyone likes to think they both understand and enact. As with ‘person-centred’ care, clinical leadership is easy to talk about, powerful when effective, but hard to get right in practice.

Investing in People and Systems – Western Health’s Clinical Governance Philosophy
Investing in People and Systems – Western Health’s Clinical Governance Philosophy

Western Health is growing at a rapid rate; the organisation has doubled in size in the last five years and is likely to double again within the next six. This growth is the result of adding new services, such as becoming a designated mental health service by July 2023 and amalgamating with other smaller services, such as Djerriwarrh Health.

Like any organisation undergoing rapid growth, Western Health is focused on the scalability of the organisation, particularly when it comes to clinical governance.

Applying technology can both help and hinder patient safety
Applying technology can both help and hinder patient safety

Technological advances have opened new possibilities for improving patient safety. Using technology to digitize healthcare processes has the potential to increase standardisation and efficiency of clinical workflows, and to reduce errors and cost across all healthcare settings. However, if technological approaches are designed or implemented poorly, the burden on care providers can increase.

Should violation of consumers’ emotional safety be a ‘never event’?
Should violation of consumers’ emotional safety be a ‘never event’?

We think of consumer safety primarily in terms of physical harm. But consumers often conceptualise safety as ‘feeling safe’, as well as ‘being safe’.  

Violating a consumer’s emotional safety while avoiding physical harm is not yet embedded in consumer safety reporting. We know that consumers can experience emotionally harmful experiences as they navigate health services, such as: disregard for their opinion, not being listened to, rudeness and abuse. Are we doing consumers and families a disservice by ignoring or denying harm that doesn’t fit our organisational definition?
