Discuss the responsibilities of a hospital governing board


The responsibilities of the governing board include hospital organization, management, control and operation, and appointing the medical staff. The governing board will conduct regular meetings (usually monthly), with minutes of meetings documented. The board hires a competent administrator and delegates to that person the authority and responsibility for carrying out hospital policies. The governing board also ensures that competent, well-qualified personnel are employed in adequate numbers to carry out the functions of the hospital. It provides a mechanism for assisting employees in addressing physical and mental health problems. The board also must maintain standards of professional work in the hospital and assure that medical staff function competently.
