A Clinical Governance Improvement Program is a set of actions that aim to enhance the quality and safety of health care services through a planned suite of activities.

As we learnt in Module 3, a key concept of clinical governance is the idea of continuous improvement.

Clinical governance is not a fixed scope task which can be completed and then all improvement work is ‘done’ - every service needs to focus on improvement activities on a regular basis.

Primary Health Tasmania strongly encourages commissioned service providers to consider how the Primary and Community Healthcare Standards may apply to support the safety and quality improvements that can be achieved through development and review of clinical governance practices
