what is the difference between corporate governance and clinical governance ? are they independent or co-dependent

 

Answer:

Corporate governance is a set of rules, policies and practices that guides the company's board of directors to manage and oversee the operations of a company while clinical governance  is the system through which organizations are accountable for continuously improving the quality of their services and safeguarding high standards of care by creating an environment in which clinical excellence will flourish.

-Corporate governance and clinical governance are co-dependent.

corporate governance activities focus on regulatory and compliance risks while clinical governance activities focus on patient safety and electronic medical records risks and use technology to unite the information.

-Both corporate governance and clinical governance incorporate risk management and are intrinsically linked although each has its own objectives. Both corporate and clinical governance must work in concert to ensure the best outcome of the risk management and hence they are co-dependent.
