Clinical Governance: Department of Health (Vic)

Report on the Review/Audit of Clinical Governance within the Victorian Health System.

“Clinical governance is central to delivering quality and safe healthcare. The 2016 Targeting Zero review found that DHHS could not assure Victorians that the health system was safe and providing high-quality care. It recommended 179 actions to improve clinical governance across the state.

To help address these actions, the Victorian Government created Safer Care Victoria (ACV) and Victorian Agency for Health Information VAHI within the Department of Health (DH) to drive improvements across the health system and improve access to health information and analytics.

Together, DH, SCV and VAHI are responsible for improving the quality and safety of the Victorian health system. ”

The report explore whether or not the Department of Health improved clinical governance following the Targeting Zero report to reasonably assure Victorians that public health services deliver quality and safe care.
