This assessment requires you to explore this prominent inquiry and to answer the question posed in two only of the four modules below;

A brief introductory paragraph is required to identify which two modules you will address in your response.
Clinical Governance
Clinical governance is defined in the Victorian Clinical Governance framework (2017) as: "..the integrated systems, processes, leadership and culture that are at the core of providing safe, effective, accountable and person-centered healthcare underpinned by continuous improvement. There are five domains in this refreshed clinical governance framework. Within the five domains, key systems and practices are required to support safe, effective, person-centred care for every consumer, every time.From the model above, identify two domains. Describe how these two domains may have influenced the system failure in the Bacchus Marsh healthcare service public inquiry. Use the literature to support your assertions.
