MDAP 837 - Hospital Governance3 credits
Boards of Trustees have major responsibilities to provide effective leadership for nonprofit healthcare organizations. They must serve all stakeholders affiliated with the institution(s), both internal and external. When the organization does well, they are commended. Conversely, when problems arise, trustees are held accountable. Clearly, a variety of difficult and complex problems exists in todays healthcare environment. Consequently, the responsibility of nonprofit hospital trustees requires planning for and addressing the challenges including contentious ethical issues. Conflicts of interest, executive compensation, medical errors, quality of patient care, and allocation of resources are some of the dilemmas that will be considered and debated. Additionally, the students, as trustees will experience significant power and responsibility, commencing with board orientation and culminating as members of a mock board analyzing and debating issues. The expertise of guest speakers from the industry will complement the readings and class discussions responsibility
