Over the past 10 to 15 years, many health systems have expanded in various ways resulting in a diverse array of boards of directors with distinct responsibilities. This patchwork of governance structure often leads to significant variations in how boards operate and oversee their respective domains. These differences can sometimes lead to challenges, particularly when management teams overlook or misinterpret the unique governance requirements of each board. Such oversights can create conflicts and complications.
