GovernWith and ACHG

 

 

 

 

GovernWith, the Victorian Healthcare Association (VHA) and ACHG have collaborated to create one compelling solution to take boards, directors and executives from evaluation to education for identified governance risks, action plans for addressing them with linked targeted education and resources.

Our solution combines the proven approach of GovernWith’s supported, online solution for managing governance risk. This is done by providing governance review and development programs for boards, individual directors and executives with the extensive health governance consulting expertise of VHA and ACHG.

Together we expertly support boards, directors, executives, and whole organisations on their journey of continuous improvement; building a shared, consistent understanding of good governance; and empowering leaders to improve organisational efficiency, productivity, service quality, and culture.
