The Clinical Governance Framework is aligned with Neami Strategic Directions, the organisational values of self-determination, growth, partnerships, respect, empowerment, diversity, choice, learning, change, wellbeing, hope and quality and the Great Consumer Experience Framework.
This Clinical Governance Framework from Headspace aims to assure fairness, accountability and transparency and defines who has the authority, decision making and accountability.
Performance indicators in health are used to describe specific aspects of our health system to monitor ‘if and how a system is performing to an agreed standard'. They are also used to understand how a system works and for accountability to consumers, governments and funders.
The purpose of the SFS Clinical Governance Framework (CGF) is to ensure the quality, safety and accountability of clinical services provided through SFS programs, to infants, children, young people and their families.
