GAP Versions

The GAP has multiple variations that can be customized according to the different centralized or decentralized areas of responsibility of your system or hospital board.

Hospital and Health System Board GAP Versions:

  1. Freestanding Hospital Board
  2. Board of a System (w/ or w/o Subsidiary Hospital Boards)
  3. Board of a Hospital that is Part of a System (Centralized)
  4. Board of a Hospital that is Part of a System (Decentralized)

In addition to completing our full board GAP assessment, we recommend that boards complete our Committee and Individual/Peer Self-Assessments in years 2 and 3 of your GAP journey.

Committee GAP Versions:

  1. Audit Committee
  2. Community Benefit & Advocacy Committee
  3. Compensation Committee
  4. Executive Committee
  5. Finance Committee
  6. Governance & Nominating Committee
  7. Investment Committee
  8. Philanthropy Committee
  9. Physician Governance Council Committee
  10. Quality Committee
  11. Additional Custom Committee GAPs as needed

Self-Assessment GAP Versions:

  1. System/Hospital Individual Director Self-Assessment
  2. System/Hospital Board Chair Self-Assessment
  3. System/Hospital Peer-to-Peer Assessment

Just like with your Full Board GAP Assessment, you can use the Committee and Self-Assessment GAPs to measure your performance over time.
