title: Quality control for the board of directors.
abstract: At the Metropolitan General Hospital in Windsor, Ontario, a 69-point methodology has been developed and implemented to evaluate whether the board is discharging its principal responsibilities effectively. This process has received an initial positive assessment by the board, and its benefits to the board include clearer expectations about performance and improved information. This article describes the development and assessment of the evaluation methodology.
