The September edition of Trustee Insights, the monthly digital newsletter from the American Hospital Association (AHA), highlights podcasts, videos, webinars and other resources on today’s most pressing issues. The September issue focuses on strengthening effective governance and board leadership in healthcare organizations. Key topics included the importance of conducting regular board assessments to evaluate performance, clarify roles and responsibilities and ensure governance structures continue to align with organizational priorities. The newsletter also highlights the growing significance of governance committees in shaping board effectiveness through trustee recruitment, succession planning, accountability and governance oversight.
Another feature explores the balance between governance and management, emphasizing the need for boards to provide strategic direction while allowing management to lead day-to-day operations. Additional resources examine how trustees and executive leaders can drive age-friendly care initiatives across health systems and the critical role boards play in overseeing artificial intelligence adoption, with a focus on patient safety, innovation and informed decision-making.
