The functions and responsibilities of the governing board of a healthcare corporation

What are the functions and responsibilities of the governing board of a healthcare corporation? Please help reply to discussion post listed below…thank you!

 

Running a healthcare organization is very important that all members of the team- whether on the medical staff, in management, or on the board- understand the role of governance and what constitutes effective governance.

The governing body of a healthcare institution has 3 primary roles:

  1. Policy making-policies define focus and differentiate responsibilities among the board, the management, and the medical staff.  Well-written policies lead to more efficient board functioning.
  2. Decision Making– involves making choices about the organization’s vision, mission, and strategies.  Boards make decisions about issues that are strategic and significant.
  3. Oversight– the board must remember the organization is theirs to oversee, not to manage.  The board should not become involved in the details of day-to-day operations-these responsibilities should be delegated to hospital administration and the medical staff-but must monitor those delegated powers in the form of performance review and hold accountable the corporation’s agents acting on their behalf.

Boards have numerous responsibilities: they oversee management, finances, and quality; set strategic direction; build community relationships; establish ethical standards, values, and compliance; and select a CEO and monitor his or her progress.  The governing board has fiduciary duties-loyalty and responsibility- owed to the corporation, its members, and its intended beneficiaries.

Loyalty to the organization is a very important fiduciary duty because it requires the individual to put the interests of the corporation before self-interest.  Basically, every organization should have and follow conflict-of-interest policies.  Also, the other important fiduciary duty is the duty of responsibility, which is to act with due care in every activity of the board.  Good faith and honesty help to determine wither due has been exercised.

Guidelines to the Reflective Log Submissions and Marking Rubric

Business Law In Practice – Guidelines to the Reflective Log Submissions and Marking Rubric OBJECTIVES The point of reflective logs is to enable you to think about your process of learning and interaction, the insights you gained about yourself and the learning content, and how you developed your approach to the challenges, the solution and teamwork (and leadership, if applicable).

As you work through each portfolio, and after you have concluded each portfolio, you are expected to individually reflect on that portfolio and then compile a collective reflection. Before the first workshop, please read the learning resources on LMS on reflective thinking and writing, and carefully study the rubric – these will help you better understand what it is to engage in critical self- reflection.

The marks for the reflective logs are NOT shared by the group, so each member of the group needs to reflect individually and personally on the submission and the learning for each portfolio. It is very important that you contemporaneously record your reflection during and at the completion of each portfolio – don’t rely on your memory when it comes to compiling your reflective logs

A Prosperous aircraft repair station

You have purchased a prosperous aircraft repair station from its previous owner, continuing the operation with the same employees. One day in the shop, you observe one of your mechanics remove a data plate from an alternator and replace it with another one he removes from a drawer on his desk.

When you ask what he’s doing, he explains that they purchase alternators from a local discount auto supply shop, then replace the data plate with one showing the unit to be an FAA-approved part. He says the previous owner told them everybody knew the units were identical, but the manufacturer just charged ten times as much for a unit with the FAA-approved data plate.

The shop buys them cheap but charges the customer the manufacturer’s list price for the FAA-approved version. He states that they’ve always done that with a lot of parts, which is why the business is so lucrative.

 

Items to address/explain: 

  1. Assuming the parts are identical except for the data plate, is this action a crime?
  2. Now that you are aware of this practice, would you be committing a crime if you allow it to continue, as long as you don’t perform any of the data plates switching yourself?
  3. If the data plate switching is a crime, what are the penalties:
    1. If the part is installed on an aircraft and works OK?
    2. If the part is installed on an aircraft and fails because of a difference between the automotive and FAA-approved aircraft versions?
    3. If the failure of the part causes a fatal accident?
    4. To your business, for violations past and future?”
