Quality Assurance
This report provides the results and recommendations from the quality assurance (QA) exercise commissioned by NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS) to determine whether the processes used to underpin the peer review of clinical governance and risk management (CGRM) provide a sound basis for future reviews. In particular, the aim of the QA exercise is to establish whether the current model is:
- effective
- efficient, and
- sustainable
About the standards
The clinical governance and risk management standards project group was established in September 2003 under the chairmanship of Dr John Browning, Medical Director, NHS Lanarkshire (retired December 2006).
The national standards for clinical governance and risk management were developed by this group and published in October 2005 following extensive consultation.
