As commissioning organisations, Primary Health Networks (PHNs) need to have clinical governance arrangements in place which provide mechanisms for risk management and quality improvement while also remaining practical and avoiding encumbering service providers with increased administrative burden.
AHHA has undertaken extensive work to develop tools and resources to support PHNs to undertake effective clinical governance in this challenging, arms-length context. This has included developing a customisable clinical governance framework and undertaking research which was reported in the Deeble Institute Issues Brief 22: Clinical governance for Primary Health Networks.
Nepean Blue Mountains PHN (NBMPHN) commissioned JustHealth Consultants to provide a number of services to build their clinical governance capability and review the PHN’s clinical governance systems.
