title: Governance of integrated delivery systems/networks: a stakeholder approach.
abstract: The health care environment is complex and turbulent, and traditional governance forms face many challenges. As integrated delivery systems/networks are formed, governance structures must be responsive to both internal and external stakeholders. Both internal efficiencies and socially responsible actions are required of these relatively new organizational forms. To meet these needs, a two-tier governance structure is presented that consists of overarching and facilitating boards.
