Summary
Boards and leaders of healthcare organisations are legally responsible for the performance of their organisation and must take definitive responsibility for improvements, successful delivery and failures in the quality of care. Board effectiveness relies on the ways in which board members translate their knowledge and information into quality and safety plans with measurable goals, maintain oversight on progress towards these goals and hold the chief executive accountable for these goals.
This resource by the Canadian Patient Safety Institute lists tools available to boards and board members to allow them to understand their legislative responsibilities for quality and safety, conduct self-evaluation and understand the competencies needed to lead on quality and patient safety.
