Principles of Health Care Quality Improvement Clinical Governance Sys

Question: Discuss about thePrinciples of Health Care Quality Improvementfor Clinical Governance System. Answer: Task 1 The clinical governance system in my organization is continuously improving by rigorous risk management and by fostering an environment of excellent patient care. Accountability refers to the responsibility of the medical professionals to deliver quality health care to the patients. They are accountable to the boards and services for their human resource management professional conduct, human resource management and financial performance (2). According to Victorian Managed Insurance Authority, the risk management refers to identification and quantification of their impacts using a logistic approach within defined acceptable limits. The system is progressing to infiltrate all levels of the organization (3). Task 2 As per the news article (1) reported by H. Alexander, on February, 3, 2016, preventable errors have increased the number patients deaths in Australia. The error includes misdiagnoses, incorrect drug administration, retention of instruments post surgery requiring more operations and miscommunication in teams. The story did not contain sufficient details as the "The NSW Clinical Excellence Commission" declined to provide the detailed account of individual cases to maintain confidentiality. However, it has mentioned that the rate of errors has halved as per the data of 2014-5015. It also highlighted the fact that newly introduced anticoagulants in the market and poses risks. However, the story is fairly handled. Exposure of such adverse event will lead to increased efforts from health care organization to improve patient safety care. It will help clinicians to become more aware of their mistakes and improve the risk management strategies. Therefore, there should be more reporting of such adverse events. References Alexander H.
