Governance and Performance 3
Introduction
Bundaberg hospital is among the public facilities in Queensland, Australia. According to Day&
Casali (2015), this hospital was affected by political scandal scene simply because of the
total negligence, as seen from some surgeons in the hospital who showed carelessness
practices in their service delivery. The surgeon under consideration will enhance court
charged with manslaughter for causing deaths of three patients unlawfully and causing
bodily harm to the fourth patient. The surgeon was found guilty for his deeds, according
to a review conducted, since he lacked a number of surgeon’s attributes.
Clinical governance failures
i. The existence of inadequate performance monitoring strategy and also complaints
investigation which also displayed insecurity in the complaints.
ii. Ineffective audit system. The system for conducting audit was efficient, as the adverse
actions of performance in regards to Dr Patel could have been identified more swiftly
iii. Unavailability of privileging and credentialing: It is seen that there was a lack of
embracement of indicator reports for clinical issues. Nonexistence or inadequacy of
oversight on the department of human resources. Considering the fact that those patients
in the department of emergency require much extra attention and structure, doctors with
smaller ranks undertake their supervision after long ranges of hours and also on
weekends. This, therefore, brings no support for the provision of clinical amenities. This
does not help in the provision of relevant data to aid in the curbing and solving issues that
could have ascended later hours (Delaney, 2015).
