title: More hospitals say 'yes' to physicians on boards.
abstract: Physician membership on hospital boards of trustees is a growing practice. Although many hospitals agree on the practicality of this concept, they differ considerably in their methods of achieving physician participation. Data from three surveys conducted by the American Hospital Association on physician trustees in nongovernmental not-for-profit hospitals are compared to illustrate this diversity.
