Governance is essential for organizations to fulfill their mission, their public purpose and, therefore, good practices in this field can strengthen the legitimacy of organizations. This is because of the impact these practices have on aspects such as professionalization and efficiency, sustainability and financial sustainability, and more transparent and open relations with stakeholders. In this context, indicators play a fundamental role in the governance of clinics and health institutions in general. They provide objective and measurable information on various aspects of the clinic's operation and performance, allowing for accurate analysis and a solid basis for strategic decision-making.
