[White Paper & Free Webinar] The High Cost of Governance Dysfunction in Community Hospitals | Elements of a Successful Hospital Board and County/District Relationship . Once the relationship between a hospital board and the county or district board gets to the point of dysfunction, great damage has been inflicted on the hospital. In an adversarial atmosphere, physicians and staff are difficult to recruit and retain. Board and management time is consumed with responding to the latest charge and counter charge. Stated simply, attention and resources shift from sustaining the mission and advancing the vision of the health care system to addressing squabbles and disagreements. This white paper and June 20 webinar address the high cost of governance dysfunction in community hospitals and the elements of a successful hospital board and county/district relationship.
