CREDENTIALING Where does the Board fit in? Robert P. Redwine President, Board of Directors Blount Memorial Hospital Maryville, Tennessee

At the top of a hospital’s organization is a governing board. The legal status of the board of any American corporation is relatively clear in that the board functions as the owner of the entity. So the board functions as the owner and is accountable to the community and/or the patients that are treated at the hospital.

Joint Commission Leadership Standard LD The governing body is ultimately accountable for the safety and quality of care, treatment, and services. The governing body is ultimately accountable for the safety and quality of care, treatment, and services.
