What governing boards expect from physician executives.
Governing boards of health care organizations have undergone major changes in the past two decades. Structurally, today's typical not-for-profit hospital board is smaller, includes 1-4 physicians, and limits trustees' terms in order to infuse the board periodically with new talents and fresh ideas. Even more important, today's trustees aren't there just for prestige or to contribute money. They are committed to the organization's mission and willing to work hard for its success.
