Bringing the clinical into the board room: how to converge clinical and corporate governance for quality care
The interplay between corporate and clinical governance is a challenging one, which has both separate and overlapping principles. Governing bodies of aged care providers must understand how both clinical and corporate governance work and the impact that these principles have on the quality of care that is provided to consumers.
This podcast will explore what the interplay of clinical and corporate governance looks like and how governing body members and executives can navigate that interplay in the board room to achieve the best possible outcomes for consumers. This episode will discuss the importance that governance frameworks have on the ability of an organisation and its staff to deliver quality care and will set out some tools that leaders can use to understand, lead and drive quality care in aged care.
This episode features Dr Cathy Balding . Cathy works with acute, community and aged care boards, executives and leaders to ‘make quality make sense’; specialising in ‘strategic clinical governance systems with purpose’ that focus on achieving a high quality point of care and service experience. After a career as a quality manager, health service executive, accreditation assessor and quality policymaker, Cathy decided it was time to focus on what it really takes for leaders and managers to shape quality and clinical governance systems for consistently good care. She is now the author of three books on this topic, has developed state-wide clinical governance frameworks and conducted published research into characteristics of effective quality and clinical governance systems. She is a current RSL LifeCare NSW Board Director, chairing the Board Quality, Safety and People Committee, and sits on the Alfred Health Board Quality Committee as an external expert. Cathy is a member of two Commonwealth aged care committees: the ‘Sector Quality Reference Group’ and the ‘Expert Advisory Panel for a new aged care regulatory framework.’
