title: Hospital board, management closely tied to quality.
abstract: A hospital's performance on clinical quality metrics is affected significantly by the board of directors and the facility's management. Quality leaders should remind them of their influence and guide them to improving metrics. A recent study quantified the effect on overall quality. The board, management, and clinicians should be measured on the same metrics. Researchers are establishing a standard way to measure management quality.
