The November edition of Trustee Insights, the monthly digital package from the American Hospital Association (AHA), includes CEO insights about the integration of two major health systems which resulted in stronger governance. The article explains the importance of defining roles and responsibilities for both subsidiary and parent boards. In addition, it describes how decision-making is approached collectively, emphasizing “systemness” and integration across the organization.
Also in the issue, an article reaffirms the distinction between operations and governance and how to work constructively to define the responsibilities and the scope of authority of board members.
