Knowledge and information for clinical governance

摘要

Everyone in primary care needs to be familiar with the requirements of clinical governance if it is to succeed as a way to improve the quality of care. Producing, collecting, and analysing primary care information is difficult, but some practices have already overcome these barriers. Individuals and primary care group and trust leaders can do much to promote clinical governance, but problems remain. Clinical governance has highlighted the need for additional knowledge and information on determinants of population health.
