3/4 of hospital board members have no clinical background. Given this lack, how are hospitals supposed to effectively conduct quality- and performance-improvement efforts? Three tips: 1. Hospital and health system board members must do more than just approve budgets. They need to help establish the organization’s goals, make strategic decisions, and oversee performance while building relationships with key stakeholders. 2. Board members need to understand the value inherent in quality and performance improvement endeavors. 3. Board members must thoroughly understand the communities and patients they serve. #HospitalBoard #HealthcareLeadership https://ow.ly/Y08950Q6w41
