Board evaluation and effectiveness: models, components and perspectives.
Health facility boards are being challenged to increase their effectiveness in the face of the changing health care environment. To this end, accreditation standards require boards to develop methods of evaluating their governing function and performance. During a survey of governance issues, the authors interviewed a group of health service executives with respect to board evaluation at their facilities. The responses yielded insights relating to models and components of evaluation, board missions and policies, mentoring programs and trustee education and orientation.
