This course has been developed to provide learners with an understanding of the requirements of Aged Care Quality Standard 8: Organisational Governance.
Aged Care Quality Standard 8: Organisational Governance course focusses on the organisation being responsible for setting strategic priorities and the delivery of quality care and services. Clinical governance is important where clinical care is provided, as there are a range of areas of concern that must be correctly addressed to keep consumers safe.
