Hospital Governance Assessment Guide
The release of the first edition of the Hospital Governance Guide by the Health Governance Unit, Medical Research Institute, Alexandria University is a contribution towards the establishment of well led healthcare organizations. The guide is based on the Egyptian Accreditation Standards for Hospitals and aims at supporting hospitals towards accreditation and facilitating a better understanding of board governance within hospitals.
This guide benefits from the practical experience gained by the Health Governance Unit staff over the years and their work with the various healthcare sectors’ hospitals in Alexandria. The guide aims at presenting the rationale behind each standard and how to assess the degree of standard implementation within your hospital. The guide can also be used for a stepped approach that puts things right regarding governance within your hospital.
The guide is formatted and written in a manner that is suitable for healthcare professionals, hospital management and hospital board members. On behalf of the Medical Research Institute, Alexandria University I hope that this guide will facilitate capacity building in relation to governance within our hospitals.
