The Center for Healthcare Governance is pleased to introduce the Quality Curriculum for Trustees, developed to increase hospital Board member knowledge of the quality imperative. Originally piloted in partnership with the Massachusetts Hospital Association, MHA’s Trustees Advisory Council, and a Trustee Steering Committee, the six-hour program includes interactive sessions, including video segments, case history discussions, and small group exercises facilitated by the Quality Curriculum Facilitators.
Specifically, the Quality Curriculum for Trustees is designed:
- to enhance Board members’ abilities to make the clear connections between their work in the boardroom, the performance of their organization, and the well being of patients and the community;
- to provide the tools Board members need to effectively drive their hospitals’ quality and safety initiatives; and
- to be customized based on individual organizational strategy, mission, and vision.
The Curriculum is timely and relevant for any organization interested in improving quality performance, or more effectively driving quality and patient safety initiatives. As a governance resource, the Curriculum will offer value for boards, trustees and executives of hospitals and health care systems, as well as related organizations with responsibilities or oversight related to quality and patient safety. Center members are eligible to apply educational credit toward participating in the Quality Curriculum.
