High Performance Clinical Governance in Healthcare (Masterclass)
NEW FOR 2023 - SOLUTION ROOM NETWORKING SESSION!
One in every nine patients who goes into hospital in Australia suffers a complication – about 900,000 patients each year. If they stay overnight, the figure rises to one in four – about 725,000 patients each year.
Whilst those receiving care may encounter poor care and harm, providers risk severe impact to their reputation, loss of funding, termination of contracts, and incurring substantial liability costs and loss of workforce. With such potential risk and rapid change continuing across the healthcare sector there is a renewed urgency for high performance clinical governance, risk management and a mature approach to accreditation, with visibility and accountability to governing body level.
Back for its third installment, this interactive 2-day masterclass, led by expert facilitator Chris Coombs, will enable delegates to:
- Develop a person-centric approach to clinical governance appropriate for their organisational clinical risk profile
- Acquire the language of risk and ensure that care and clinical governance is incorporated into enterprise risk and compliance approaches
- Lift their organisational care safety maturity from one of a reactive approach to complaints, incidents and accreditation to a mature system-wide proactive approach to patient, consumer and staff safety
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This masterclass is suitable for clinicians and those with no clinical background; those in roles of accountability for governance, quality and safety, risk, compliance, strategy, general management and supply chain management.
It is designed with the unique challenges of complex, innovative and rapidly changing models of healthcare delivery in mind and the interface of clinical risk management with strategy.
