Serving on a hospital board: A case study.
Nursing Outlook 2017 July
BACKGROUND: It is important for nurses to serve on hospital boards, largely to give voice to matters of quality and patient safety.
PURPOSE: Describe what one nurse was able to accomplish on a statewide board over time as chair of the board's Quality and Patient Safety Committee.
METHODS: The experience was analyzed using auto-ethnography and narrative analysis.
DISCUSSION: After describing the organization, the paper summarizes the key issues on which the nurse took the lead, measures of success in the role, and learning acquired along the way.
CONCLUSION: The "system" orientation of nurses is an asset in getting hospital boards to view themselves as institutional champions of quality.
