| | Clinical Governance - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Clinical Governance |
| | However clinical governance applies only to health and social care organisations, and only those aspects of such organisations that relate to the delivery of care to patients and their carers; it is not concerned with the other business processes of the organisation except in so far as they affect the delivery of care. | | | Clinical Governance is the term used in the United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS) and private healthcare system to describe a systematic approach to maintaining and improving the quality of patient care. | | | Clinical Governance is the mechanism by which that responsibility is discharged. |
