title: A proposal for a more efficient board.
abstract: Under traditional organizational patterns, trustees generally do not have the time, and consequently the personal preparation, to do their jobs well. This article presents recommendations for making better use of trustees' limited time through better board structuring and more effective board committees, as well as a proposal to pay directors' fees to hospital trustees.
