The role of governing bodies in designing the future of aged care

Redesigning the future of the aged care system is a complex process that requires leaders in the aged care sector to balance strong governance skills in strategy, risk, clinical care, technology to support change management that maintains and improves safe and quality aged care. Today’s governance landscape is evolving, requiring leaders across all sectors to rethink the way they oversee and steward their organisations. But the complexity of the aged care sector can often make it feel like focusing on governance is just another thing on the list of challenges and changes that governing bodies and executives need to address.

 

This episode will explore what the future of ageing in Australia may look like and will cover how governing bodies and aged care leaders can consider new approaches, new models of care or research that not only respond to change but help to successfully drive it to make positive progress.
