Specific board policies improve effectiveness.

Lay hospital boards face increasing expectations from the health care system, yet typically lack the means with which to meet these expectations effectively. The article discusses this difficulty by first describing the role of boards, their statutory obligations, and their responsibilities as identified in the 1991 Canadian Council on Health Facilities Accreditation standards. The article then describes how the board of the Matsqui-Sumas-Abbotsford General Hospital has developed specific policies to address these responsibilities and expectations.
