“Integrating governance, risk and compliance gives boards and clinicians the confidence that patients are protected and obligations are met.”
– Michael Howell, Head of Risk Research & Knowledge, Protecht
Key information and topics covered
Healthcare is the highest-stakes environment there is, with lives, reputations and scarce resources on the line. When governance, risk and compliance operate in silos, hospitals face greater exposure to clinical, cyber and operational failure, with direct consequences for patient safety and public trust.
This eBook explains how to connect governance, risk and compliance into a single, integrated framework. You’ll see how leading health services are moving beyond paper, spreadsheets and siloed point systems to modern GRC platforms that link incidents, obligations, controls and third parties in real time. The result: fewer blind spots, stronger assurance, and faster action when it matters most.
With practical examples and clear frameworks, Sustaining risk, compliance and trust in healthcare helps boards, executives and frontline managers embed accountability and improve decision-making at every level.
