Larry Gage will speak on the July 1 panel “Governance of High-Performing Nonprofit Hospital Systems: Results of a New Survey on Recent Trends and Best Practices” during this annual meeting hosted by the American Health Law Association.
Key topics will include:
- Recent trends in the size, composition, selection, and tenure of hospital system governing boards
- The governance challenges faced by systems that have formed through mergers or acquisitions requiring the integration of governing boards and legal structures that may differ widely from one another
- The governance of subsidiary hospitals, including the pros and cons of consolidating fiduciary authority at the level of the system board and limiting the authority, accountability, and decision-making responsibility of subsidiaries
- The challenges faced by faith-based systems, including governance approaches adopted in mergers between faith-based and secular hospitals
- The unique governance challenges of systems centered around major teaching hospitals that are wholly owned by universities as well as those that have been spun off by universities into independent nonprofit corporations, with a case study of the recent governance journey of one state university hospital system with a quasi-independent nonprofit structure
