Governance in healthcare organizations is undergoing somewhat of a resurgence or rebirth as the industry begins to recognize not only the value of governance, but that it is a critical component of the organization. Forrester Research has labeled this evolution “DG 2.0.” But regardless of the label or the current support (or lack thereof) that governance may have, there are some trends that will drive the future direction of the practice.
In our recent guide, Healthcare Governance, Trends to Watch, we take a look at two types of trends: first, trends that are external to the governance practice, but are having a direct impact on governance programs; and second, trends that are occurring directly within governance itself. Those trends include:
