Clinical Governance

Clinical governance is practiced in MRCOG in module 1 and it is very necessary to look the
details attached to it that helps in better understanding of the topic. Lets start the description of
first module of MRCOG.
A systematic approach to main and improve the patient health within a health system is known as
Clinical Governance.
Clinical governance has three main attributes that are recognized to be high standard of care,
translucent duties and their accountability and vibrant improvement.
Sometimes it is analogous to Corporate Governance where those structure and processes are
addressed to pledge the quality, liability and proper management of the organization work and
delivery of service. Whereas, Clinical governance are applied only on health and social care
organization
Clinical governance is formed with at lest following elements
Education Training: It is no longer tolerable
for any clinician to give up from continuing
education after qualification; too much of
what is learned during training becomes
quickly outdated.
Clinical adult: Clinical audit is the analysis
of clinical performance, the refinement of
clinical practice as a result, the dimension of
performance against agreed principles - a
cyclical process of improving the quality of

clinical care. In one form or another, audit has been part of good clinical practice for
generations.
Clinical effectiveness: it is a gauge of the level to which certain intrusions work. The gauge on
its own is useful but they can be enhances in context of whether the intrusion was reasonable or
not and whether it signifies the value form money. However clinical practice needs to revise by
considering the rising supports of effectiveness.
Research and development: Professional practice in good terms has always required changing
through research. But the time requires to have this change depends upon the time; sometimes it
can be very long plus it demands to not only have research but the implementation of that too.
Some of the tools for the implementation of research are critical appraisal, project management,
protocols, implementation strategies and development of guidelines.
Openness: Bad performance and lack of practice can flourish closed doors. Any organization
that is providing high quality care must show the emerging needs of the population it dole out.
Risk management: Risk management is composed of following components: Risk to patients,
risk to practitioners and Risk to organization.
Risk to patients is referred as to minimize the risks to patients and these risk can be minimized
with the by constant reviewing the system.
Risk to practitioners is referred as assuring that the practitioners are inoculated by infectious
diseases and they should work in an environment that is safe. Moreover, they help to keep up to
date the parts to quality assurance.
Risk to Organization is poor quality which can be minimized by improving their quality against
quality employment practice, an environment that is safe and policies that are designed on the
involvement of public
Information management: That is the proper collection of the patient record, management and
use of information.
