Additional requirements
- Other requirements - Murdoch University students should also note that Clinical and Corporate Governance (NUR641) is considered academically equivalent and therefore you should not enrol in this subject if you have successfully completed NUR641.
This subject is designed to foster knowledge of concepts, frameworks and practices of clinical and corporate governance, and an understanding of their application in health care settings. The integral links between an effective clinical and corporate governance framework and the four domains of patient safety and quality (consumer participation, clinical effectiveness, effective workforce and risk management) will be explored. The drivers and barriers to the implementation of effective governance within healthcare organisations will also be investigated.
