Integrating Governance Systems and Structures into Safety and Quality in Healthcare
About this subject
Upon completion of this subject, the student should be able to:
- Evaluate and implement safe provision of quality healthcare in a work place context
- Demonstrate assessment, planning and provision of clinical safety and quality
- Critique legal implications governing clinical accountability in healthcare practice
- Module 1: Clinical governance and quality improvement in preventing and controlling infections and medication management
- Module 2: Documentation of healthcare user information
- Module 3: Infection Prevention and Control Systems
- Module 4: Continuity and Processes in Medication Management
- Module 5: Reprocess, Reuse & Regulate
- Module 6: Antimicrobial stewardship
The implementation science and organisational reliability fields of knowledge are drawn upon to illuminate safety and quality centrality to clinical governance. This knowledge is used to investigate how to achieve effective performance and monitoring systems that support and promote clinical safety and quality, accountability and transparency within organisations for healthcare users, the workforce and community.
To operationalise these requirements, this subject investigates the application of the National Safety and Quality in Health Service (NSQHS) Preventing and Controlling Infections and Medication Safety standards. Their necessity and integration with other standards in the NSQHS are also reviewed.
