  • Clinical governance. (bmj.com)
  • 1 For the first time, all health organisations will have a statutory duty to seek quality improvement through clinical governance. (bmj.com)
  • The resonance of the two terms is important, for if clinical governance is to be successful it must be underpinned by the same strengths as corporate governance: it must be rigorous in its application, organisation-wide in its emphasis, accountable in its delivery, developmental in its thrust, and positive in its connotations. (bmj.com)
  • The introduction of clinical governance, aimed as it is at improving the quality of clinical care at all levels of healthcare provision, is by far the most ambitious quality initiative that will ever have been implemented in the NHS. (bmj.com)
  • Although clinical governance can be viewed generally as positive and developmental, it will also be seen as a way of addressing concerns about the quality of health care. (bmj.com)
  • What is clinical governance? (bmj.com)
  • 4 The World Health Organisation is helpful in exploring the idea of clinical governance. (bmj.com)
  • The development of clinical governance is designed to consolidate, codify, and universalise often fragmented and far from clear policies and approaches, to create organisations in which the final accountability for clinical governance rests with the chief executive of the health organisation-with regular reports to board meetings (equally as important as monthly financial reports)-and daily responsibility rests with a senior clinician.

  • Today's report shows that, in the four or so years since the establishment of PCTs, implementation of clinical governance has delivered clear benefits to the quality of patient care and has helped some PCTs to achieve improvements in efficiency. (nao.org.uk)
  • A major challenge is the independence of primary care contractors, such as GPs, community pharmacists, dentists and practice nurses, and the need to engage them in the clinical governance agenda. (nao.org.uk)
