ACQSC Clinical Governance Resources - there is help out there!
The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission have some excellent resources to help providers understand clinical governance.
The Clinical Governance toolkit includes 4 comprehensive fact sheets.
Introduction to Clinical Governance
Clinical governance and the Aged Care Quality Standards
Roles and Responsibilities for Clinical Governance - this is a biggy
Developing and Implementing a Clinical Governance Framework - easier said than done
As part of this toolkit there are also 2 self assessment tools and a Clinical Governance Framework Guide
I would also recommend the National Model Clinical Governance Framework This has some really simple tables and illustations that help understand how the clinical framework works in principle. Clinical goverance can be challenging to grasp and even more challenging to implement. Simple images and basic practical advise can be extemely helpful.
