2017 Governance Institute Biennial Survey Shows Positive Governance Evolution
2017年12月15日 - 7:15AM
The Governance Institute, a service of NRC Health, has published
the results of its 2017 Biennial Survey of governance
structure in the nation’s non-profit hospitals and health systems.
The survey explores how health systems, independent hospitals,
subsidiary hospitals, and government-sponsored hospitals conduct
business and view their performance while meeting industry demands.
Insights gleaned from responses representing over 900 hospitals
demonstrated governance evolution in several areas, continuing to
reflect the industry’s movement toward value and population health.
The report indicated progress toward these ends, including:
heightened system-level control of key issues, an increase of
respondents (55 percent) participating in an ACO model of some type
(up from 47 percent in 2015), and a higher level of physician
involvement in governance (two physicians on average per board).
Other major findings include:
Governance Structure & Culture:
- A decline in average board size across all organization
types: average board size has declined from 13.6 in to 12.9 in
2017. While board composition has remained somewhat consistent, the
most significant shift includes a slight decrease in independent
board members, and a slight increase in medical staff
physicians.
- Still spending 2/3 of time on hearing reports: While
boards continue to increase the use of a consent agenda, 66 percent
of board meeting time is devoted to hearing and reviewing reports.
Only 24 percent of meeting time is spent discussing strategic
issues/policy. Research by The Governance Institute has shown for
all organizations a significant positive correlation between
spending more than half of the board meeting time discussing
strategic issues and respondents rating overall board performance
as “excellent.”
- Multiple models for system governance still being
tested: Systems are more evenly split this year regarding
governance structure, between: one system board with fiduciary
oversight for the entire system, a system board and subsidiary
boards with fiduciary duties, and a system board and subsidiary
advisory boards. The key difference this year is that more systems
are establishing board education and orientation programs for their
subsidiaries.
- Majority are continuing to add new population health goals
to their strategic plan: 60 percent of respondents have
added population health goals to the strategic plan since
2015.
