title: Clinical Governance: myth, hurdle, or new opportunity?
abstract: The goal of this paper is to outline the pragmatic use of the Clinical Governance and the urge to introduce it in daily practice. The present and future of modern medicine should be based on these principles. The reengineering of the Italian health care system has been mentioned as an example that took place in the early 90s.
