Quality and the Board Memo

Scenario: You were recently hired as the Director of Planning for a mid-sized hospital and the CEO has asked you to develop a brief memo that explains the role of the governing body as it relates to the oversight of quality. The CEO also asked that you identify 2-3 specific actions used by progressive healthcare organizations to better engage the board in quality oversight. In addition to describing these best practices, be sure to compare and contrast the strengths and limitations of each model.

Requirements:

  • The memo should be at least one, but no more than two pages in length, single-spaced.
  • Use terms, evidence, and concepts from class readings.
  • You need to cite at least three sources for this assignment, outside of the textbook.
