During the summer, The Governance Institute conducted a survey specific to the problems affecting public/government-sponsored hospitals. We surveyed our public hospital members and a sample of public hospitals that are not Governance Institute members—asking CEOs to identify and comment on common conditions for their boards that constitute problems or barriers to effective governance. We also asked about policies or practices these boards have adopted to address barriers to effective governance. Three hundred ninety (390) public hospital CEOs received the survey electronically, and 65 responded (17%).
