Issues in the governance of Canadian hospitals, Part II: Hospital planning.
A hospital's board is directly accountable to the corporation of the hospital. Together they are accountable to the patients and communities served by the hospital, to the provincial government that funds the hospital on behalf of these patients and communities, and to the staff of the hospital. Thus, the board of trustees has a critical role in defining the purposes, principles and objectives of hospitals.
