Overview
The role of the health service board in overseeing and ensuring the safety and quality of health care is critical. The complexity of health care, significant technological change, service demands and rate of patient adverse events across the health care industry all provide strong incentives for health service Board's to recognise and enhance their clinical governance role.
This paper reviews the clinical governance literature to identify the key elements of good clinical governance, with a focus on the Board role, suggests governance roles at other levels of the health system and provides a Board self-evaluation tool.
