Educating the Health Care Board
Sponsored by: 
Health care’s traditional governance model is showing its age, and with it the need to reexamine how boards are being educated.
The current environment in health care is placing enormous expectations on governing boards to synthesize all that’s happening and provide meaningful guidance to hospital and health care system leaders. And while many provider organizations recognize the importance and value of educating trustees, finding the time, resources and right materials to optimally engage trustees has proven challenging. Watch this Transformation Talks video to learn more about:
- What board education should encompass and how board education needs may change in the coming years.
- What current hurdles exist to better board education and how to overcome them.
- How to increase board engagement and education and what technologies can be leveraged.
