Governance Leadership of Quality: Confronting Realities and Creating Tension for Change – American Hospital Association
Leadership of quality is a key responsibility of governance and, done well, serves as an exceptional gift: engaged boards produce better outcomes. For all the progress made over the last 20 years, however, many boards, trustees, and executives continue to struggle with quality oversight. A new diagnostic tool, constructed around six key drivers of board engagement, is designed to help boards and leaders identify challenges that may be impeding efforts to improve quality.


Leadership in today’s NHS: delivering the impossible – The King’s Fund
In 2014, work by The King’s Fund assessed the level of leadership vacancies in NHS provider organisations. As pressures on services have increased and NHS organisations are called on to work more collaboratively, levels of leadership vacancies and leadership churn continue to pose problems. This report is based on a survey of NHS trusts and foundation trusts carried out by NHS Providers in late 2017, qualitative interviews and a roundtable event with frontline leaders and national stakeholders.
The survey showed that leadership vacancies are widespread, with director of operations, finance and strategy roles having particularly high vacancy rate and short tenures.
