title: A new approach to clinical governance in Queensland.
abstract: Clinical governance approaches in Queensland health were trenchantly criticised in 2005 by two external reviews. In designing the new approach to clinical governance it was recognised that clinical governance should not be seen as only being about traditional safety and quality policies. A range of levers and policy instruments have been used in Queensland health to effect a new approach to clinical governance.
