## Overview

Draft or update a governance and accountability framework for healthcare services aligned with HIQA NSSBH Theme 5.

## Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the *HIQA Healthcare Governance* skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

## Example conversation

**You:** We need a governance and accountability framework for our community healthcare service so we're aligned with HIQA NSSBH Theme 5.

**Agent:** I'll use the HIQA NSSBH reference (eight themes, governance criteria). I'll draft a framework that includes: accountability structures and clear lines of responsibility; description of the governance framework; board/executive oversight of quality and safety; how risk management is integrated; compliance with national standards; and how you learn from incidents and drive quality improvement. Do you have an existing governance document or organigram I should align with?

## Output excerpt

### Governance framework excerpt

**Accountability** — The Board/Executive holds overall accountability for quality and safety. The Person in Charge / Director of Nursing reports to [role] on clinical governance. Quality and safety are standing items at [committee name].

**Risk management** — The risk register is maintained by [role] and reviewed [frequency]. High risks are escalated to [committee]. The governance framework ensures risk is considered in all major decisions.

**Compliance** — The service monitors compliance with the National Standards for Safer Better Healthcare (NSSBH) and [relevant regulations]. Annual self-assessment against NSSBH themes is reported to the Board.

## Extension and validation

This skill does not include custom validation tools. Elaboration is guided by the skill workflow and reference materials (NSSBH themes and governance criteria).
