Working with Governing Boards (Leadership Competencies)
The CEO often reports to the Board of Directors. Boards of Directors are a critical part of leadership in health care and may serve different roles in different organizations. There has been increased scrutiny on the proper training and expectations of Board membership.
Please review the HHS Guidelines for HealthCare Boards of Directors at http://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/docs/complianceguidance/CorporateResponsibilityFinal%209-4-07.pdf (Links to an external site.).

Share if you have had any experience working with or serving on a Board of Directors. If you do not have any personal experience, conduct research on effective governing boards. Discuss what are the critical areas for healthcare organizations to improve the effectiveness of their Boards?
