Case for change
Healthcare learning experiences that advance individual and organizational performance
Healthcare governance has evolved into a challenging, highly complex endeavor. Hospital and health system boards must oversee the increasingly disruptive and nuanced dynamics associated with delivering reliable, high-quality and affordable healthcare services.
The chief executive officer (CEO) and the entire board need to be informed and aligned while continuously improving their effectiveness for the sake of physicians, clinicians, employees, patients, families and their communities.
