Getting the board on board: Engaging hospital boards in quality and patient safety
Joshi MS, Hines SC. Getting the board on board: Engaging hospital boards in quality and patient safety. Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety. Apr 2006;32(4):179-187.
This article describes a study in which interviews were conducted with chief executive officers and board chairs from a sample of 30 hospitals, representing 14 states across the United States. The study's results showed that the level of knowledge of the landmark Institute of Medicine (IOM) quality reports among CEOs and board chairs was remarkably low, but they were very aware of public reporting of quality information. The article also presents ideas for how to engage hospital boards in quality.
