The symptoms are familiar.
- Reports are detailed, but not always decision ready.
- Clinical and enterprise governance remain difficult to connect
- Cyber, privacy and AI risks are becoming Board-level concerns
- Workforce and care pressures are changing faster than reporting cycles
- Boards need a clearer view of what matters, what is changing and where action is needed.
The problem is not generally the lack of information, but the lack of connection.
At the same time, expectations are rising. Boards are expected to oversee quality, resilience, accountability, digital transformation and community trust as connected governance issues. Risk reporting needs to keep up.
Michael Howell, Protecht’s Head of Risk Research and Knowledge, speaks with Stewart Dowrick, experienced healthcare leader and advisor and former Chief Executive of Mid North Coast Local Health District, drawing on Stewart’s over 30 years of healthcare leadership experience.
“Healthcare boards do not need more reporting. They need clearer insight into what matters, what is changing and where action is needed next.” – Stewart Dowrick
