improving operations, clinical staff and processes, society and financial
performance.
⢠Clinical governance - includes caring for patients, managing clinical
practices and administration, maintaining and improving the quality and
safety of patient care
⢠Corporate governance - encompasses many matters that arenât players at all
in clinical governance. Matters such as accounting, finance, investment,
human resources, IT facilities and security all fall under corporate
governance.
7. Stakeholders
⢠Three main categories of stakeholders who interact with each other
determine the health system and its governance:
1. State- government organizations and agencies at central and sub-
national level
2. Health service providers- different public and private for and not for
profit clinical, para-medical and non-clinical health services
providers; unions and other professional associations; networks of
care or of services
3. Citizen - population representatives, patientsâ associations, NGOs,
citizens associations protecting the poor, etc.) who become service
users when they interact with health service providers.
8. Leadership and governance
⢠ensures strategic policy frameworks exist and are combined with effective
oversight, coalition-building, regulation, attention to system-design and
accountability.
⢠health leadership plays a crucial role in redirecting the workforce, increasing job

8. Foster open and honest communication
9. Teach, train and coach employees
20. Advantages of QE process:
âSafe care â avoiding injuries to patients caused by treatments intended to help them.
âTimely care â reducing wait times and harmful delays for patients.
âEffective care â making patients better.
âEfficient care â avoiding waste, in particular waste of equipment, supplies, ideas, energy,
and resources in general.
âEquitable care â providing care that does not vary in quality because of personal
characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location and socioeconomic status.
âPatient-centered care â providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual
patient needs, while ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.
21. Aspects of good health governance
1. Evidence-based policy making. It involves the systematic collection
of high-quality data and analysis of those data with rigorous research
methods, which creates evidence on which decisions can be based.
eg N 95 mask
2. Efficient and effective service provision arrangements, regulatory
frameworks, and management systems- encouraging vaccination
3. Responsiveness to public health needs and the preferences of
beneficiariesâ/citizensâ â while also managing their differences
4. Transparency in policymaking, the way resources are allocated, and
performance
22. Aspects of good health governance
5. Responsible leadership to address public health priorities- man ki
baat
6. The legitimate exercise of beneficiariesâ/citizensâ voice
7. Institutional checks and balances
8. Clear and enforceable accountability
23.
24. ⢠Good governance is considered a core component of resilient health systems.
⢠Health system resilience can be defined as the capacity of health actors, institutions,
and populations to prepare for and effectively respond to crises; maintain core
functions when a crisis hits; and, informed by lessons learned during the crisis,
reorganise if conditions require it.
⢠Health systems are resilient if they protect human life and produce good health
outcomes for all during a crisis and in its aftermath.
⢠Good leadership is the key to building high-quality healthcare.
Goals :
⢠improved health status
⢠reduced financial risk to users of the health system.
25. By focusing on governance and leadership, improved governance and leadership can contribute to an array of downstream
effects, including:
26. Governance and Leadership- steps
⢠Step 1: Strengthen primary health care policies and leadership
⢠Step 2: Strengthen quality management infrastructure
⢠Step 3: Ensure social accountability mechanisms are integrated
throughout the system
27. Governance and Leadership- steps
⢠Step 1: Strengthen primary health care policies and leadership
National stakeholders must work together to define the scope and
mechanisms of quality PHC policies in their context, and then to
develop and implement those policies.
28. Step 2: Strengthen quality management
infrastructure
In order to ensure access to quality, person-centered health systems,
national health policies, strategies, and plans must be accompanied by
a strong, transparent quality management infrastructure that
integrates standardized care plans, diagnostic protocols, training
programs, and accreditation systems.
29.
30. ⢠Quality management includes three interlinked concepts,
necessary to enhance quality across the health system:
⢠Quality planning - includes aims, processes, and goals needed to
create an environment for continuous improvement.
⢠Quality control - entails monitoring established processes to
ensure their functionality.
⢠Quality improvement - is the action of every person working to
implement iterative, measurable changes, to make health
services more effective, safe, and people-centered.
31. Quality Management Infrastructure
Goals and outcomes
⢠Establishes infrastructure that supports a health system to deliver
safe, effective, and efficient care
⢠Enhances quality across the health system while minimizing harm and
resource waste
⢠Creates an environment for continuous improvement
32.
33. Quality Improvement
ď´ Step 1: Identifying a problem, forming a team and writing an
aim statement
ď´ Step 2: Analyzing the problem and measuring quality of care
ď´ Step 3: Developing and testing changes
ď´ Step 4: Sustaining improvement
34. Step 1
⢠Identifying problem-
⢠Data-based: Review local health facility data and
identify gaps related to quality of care
⢠Value for patient outcomes
⢠Forming a team
Look for volunteers who are:
ď´ Enthusiastic - they want to make changes
ď´ Involved - they are the ones doing the work that needs
change
ď´ Influential - others people listen to them and they can get
things done
35. Team
â˘Need people from every level: from administrators to
cleaners
⢠From all involved departments
⢠Assign some key roles
⢠Leader
⢠Recorder
⢠Communicator
36. Step 2- Analyzing the problem and measuring
quality of care
Tools for analysis
Understanding the current system:
1. Fishbone
2. Five Whyâs
3. Pareto Principle

38. 2. âFive whysâ
Understanding why something is the way it is:
ď´ Mothers are not breastfeeding â Why?
ď´ They feel uncomfortable taking their gown off â Why?
ď´ The gown opens at back, so they have to take entire gown off
to breastfeed, so they feel uncomfortable.
ď´ Why they have this type of a gown?
ď´ That is what store keeper orders.
ď´ Why doesnât the store keeper order gowns appropriate for breast
feeding?
ď´ Because no one has requested him to do that

45. 3. Ensure social accountability mechanisms are
integrated throughout the system
⢠It includes opportunities for community members to identify and
seek solutions to problems observed in their local health systems.
⢠Processes for both surfacing and responding to these concerns should
be designed from the outset and integrated as much as possible into
PHC policies from the local to the national level.
⢠is a measure of whether a country is held accountable to existing and
emerging social concerns and priorities based on need
⢠It includes a set of approaches and tools to promote citizen
engagement and monitoring to improve system performance,
effectiveness, and responsiveness to public needs.
46.
47. ⢠Democratic accountability includes systems, laws, and contexts that
build an enabling environment for citizen-led accountability. It
includes :
⢠Transparency- release or publication of the data and information
needed for citizens to monitor the health system.
⢠Responsiveness- it include government actions to respond to
needs or requests that arise during citizen monitoring.
48. ⢠Performance accountability is defined as initiatives
and actions by citizens and civil society organizations
to hold government and service providers
accountable for their performance through bottom-
up monitoring and engagement.
⢠Social accountability works best with coordinated
efforts from two key sets of actors: those with
decision-making power, and citizens or civil society.
49. How governance can be used as tool to
enhance QE ?
⢠Engaging the population, civil society and communities
into policy and decision making. National health policies,
strategies and plans are more likely to be implemented
effectively if their development and negotiation is inclusive of all
relevant stakeholders.
⢠Strengthening legal framework- The creation of a formal legal
mandate creates a drive for action and a commitment to work
on policies and programs eg wearing masks in public
⢠Transparency
50. Leadership
⢠PMâs ability to get citizens to exercise self-discipline, especially
in the early days of the pandemic, through initiatives such as
lighting lamps to applaud corona warriors, or banging utensils to
express solidarity, or appealing to citizens consistently to wear
masks. It enabled peopleâs participation, which made it easier for
the government to pursue the battle.
51. Summary
⢠Through good governance and leadership, we have crossed an important
phase in the battle against the pandemic.
⢠In India, along with the central and state governments, 1.3 billion citizens
fought against the pandemic
⢠Successful outcomes improvement in healthcare requires strong leadership to
make decisions, allocate resources, and prioritize initiatives.
⢠Effective governance in healthcare includes
⢠Engage the right stakeholders.
⢠Establish a shared understanding of objectives.
⢠Practice disciplined prioritization.
