AB  - Clinical governance is simply a formalized framework for assuring 
  the quality of patient care on an individual level, as well as across organizations. 
  Few studies were performed about the role of health information technology and 
  management in clinical governance in Iran. This study was conducted to investigate 
  clinical staff’s preferences, 
  such as physicians, nurses and allied health practitioners towards the roles 
  of health information technology and management in clinical governance. This 
  descriptive study was conducted in affiliated hospitals of Semnan University 
  of Medical Sciences in Iran during 2012. Measurement tool was a self-administered, 
  valid and reliable questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. 
  Most of the study subjects (69.5%) were nurses, 80.6% were female, 3.6% selected 
  the role of health information technology as 1st and 2nd priority. About 60.4% 
  chose the role of management in clinical governance as 1st priority. It is concluded 
  that most clinical staff believes that health information technology has little 
  role in clinical governance. It is necessary, clinical staff will be aware that 
  health information technology is in general increasingly viewed as the most 
  promising tool for improving the overall quality, safety and efficiency of the 
  health delivery system. Also, the most clinical staff believed that the management 
  is responsible for managing the clinical governance unit to lead, coordinate 
  and support clinical excellence health care settings.
