Hospital Board Governance Program
HTHU’s Board Member Training Certification Program was created to train hospital board members and member of the c-suite in the critical areas needed to govern and lead in today’s ever-changing hospital environment. The program is offered in two versions– the Full Program version, and a Course Subscription Version. (Which Program is right for your hospital? View the Comparison of Board Training Programs 2016).
A key to a hospital’s future success lies greatly in the governance by its board and trustees. It has become a role that demands active participation by members who understand the hospital environment, as well as are committed to the community it serves. The role is full of challenges, with members facing legal, ethical, and regulatory decisions in a highly evolving industry. Ongoing changes make it critical that hospital boards are provided with ongoing education to provide direction and oversight for the hospital.
Part 1: “Board Minutes” Industry Updates
