The article discusses that according to a report the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) lacked processes that were capable of detecting significant deficiencies in clinical governance, particularly regarding safety and quality. Topics discussed include need for maintaining safety and quality of Mental Health Services (MHS); regular collection of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) by MHS; benefits of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) guidelines.
