Abstract:
Purpose: This study explores key governance, leadership and management activities that have impact on quality, risk and safety within Australian healthcare organisations. Design/methodology/approach: Current non-executive directors (n = 12) of public and private health boards were interviewed about contemporary approaches to fiduciary and corporate responsibilities for quality assurance and improvement outcomes in the context of risk and safety management for patient care. Verbatim transcripts were subjected to thematic analysis triangulated with Leximancer-based text mining.
