Definition

Clinical governance is defined by the Australian Council on
Healthcare Standards as

"The system, by which the governing body, managers,
clinicians and staff share responsibility and accountability for
the quality of care, continuously improving, minimising risks
and fostering an environment of excellence in care for
consumers".

What does this mean for services?

 Clinical leadership responsibility and accountability is well defined
  and connected to corporate governance systems
 Systems for stakeholder, clinician engagement and performance
  management are actively in place
 Treatment services are informed by the evidence of what is
  working and are respectful of, and responsive to, the
  preferences, needs and values of clients and the community
 Information and data are used to inform service delivery and
  drive quality improvement
 Resources are allocated to monitor, build and sustain clinical
  expertise within the service

The Suicide Assessment Kit (SAK) is a comprehensive assessment
and policy development package, designed to assist alcohol and other
drug services in the assessment and management of suicide risk. The
SAK was developed by NDARC in partnership with the Network of
Alcohol and Other Drug Agencies (NADA), in response to a need
identified as a result of interviewing staff and managers of residential
rehabilitation services nationally (Ross et al, 2012).

The SAK contains three key resources:

        1) the Suicide Risk Screener

        2) the Suicide Risk Formulation Template, and

        3) the Suicide Policies and Procedures Pro-forma.

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is
a two-day interactive workshop in suicide first aid.

ASIST teaches participants to recognise when
someone may have thoughts of suicide and work
with them to create a plan that will support their
immediate safety.

Interdisciplinary Team Meeting

A weekly meeting that brings together all staff (counselors,
trainers, youth workers) to develop individually tailored support
plans for program participants.

The structure for the interdisciplinary meeting is formal and
includes a case discussion; presenting their history, current
presenting issues, a wellness plan the young person has
developed and how they were currently engaging in the program.

The team develops an individual support plan.

The really helpful aspect of this is being able to develop support
plans for difficult and complex presenting issues that enabled the
team to respond consistently.
