In the healthcare sector, the way healthcare institutions are led, regulated, and organized not only influences the quality of care and patient management but also the working conditions of medical and technical teams on the ground.
Governance in the context of healthcare encompasses various aspects, including :
A "good" governance, or at least a governance that focuses on finding and implementing the best processes for the functioning of the establishment while respecting the rights of employees, will inevitably have an impact on the quality of care at the end of the chain.
Different governance structures can influence treatment protocols and patient safety. Preventing medical errors and avoiding premature diagnoses must be at the heart of concerns. Promoting a patient-centered approach should be actively encouraged.
Unfortunately, the lack of resources weakens healthcare structures as a whole over the years, degrading the existing governance models and taking away the time initially reserved for consultations.
Is it a fate against which no one can fight ? Not necessarily. All hope of improving the internal processes of one's healthcare facility is not lost yet. 😊
Optimizing your governance model and undertaking to reverse the trend can be achieved by:

Patient profiles have always been diverse but must also be recognized as such to allow for care to be tailored accordingly.

The adaptation of care should not be an open door to discriminatory attempts. The governance you implement should provide a clear vision of "on-the-ground" practices. Adaptation of care should go in the right direction, meaning the ethical and respectful care of all individuals.
Governance policies sometimes affect equity in access to healthcare, especially for marginalized or disadvantaged populations.
Fair planning and allocation of resources are necessary to meet the needs of the population without distinction based on :
Inequalities in access to healthcare exist globally and are increasingly being addressed. However, it is evident in some countries that rural areas and disadvantaged neighborhoods suffer from limited or even non-existent access to modern medical devices.
Qualified and competent healthcare professionals are also scarcer.
With healthcare systems differing from one nation to another, inequalities are further exacerbated, affecting low-income households as well.
Governance plays a fundamental role in promoting equity and quality of care. By optimizing the governance model and fostering a patient-centered approach, healthcare facilities can contribute to addressing disparities in healthcare delivery.
Access to healthcare should be a universal right, regardless of an individual's social, economic, or geographical situation. As change sometimes elicits resistance within teams even when the cause is noble, it is advisable to surround oneself with support during these intense and often destabilizing periods for a healthcare facility.
