Adding a Public Board Member to your PCNAN OVERVIEW OF RECRUITING, SELECTING AND ORIENTING YOUR PUBLIC BOARD MEMBER
November 2014
Public Member on your PCN Board
• Goal: By April 1, 2015 Primary Care Network Boards will strive towards including at least one Public Director.
November 2014
Why a Public Board Member?• Community participation is an integral component of
the patient centered health home model
• A non-clinical, community–based Board member should bring additional governance competencies to your Board and may bring specific skill-sets if required (e.g., legal, financial advice)

Why a Public Board Member?• Public Director will enhance the diversity and provide
new perspectives to a NPC Board.

Competencies of Governance(Modified from the Accountability Group, Lyn McDonnell)

Where would a Public Board member sit within the existing PCN Governance structure?
• Model One: Recognizing that two governance models exist for PCNs, it is recommended that the Public Board member would sit within the Physician NPC in Model One and the NPC Joint Physician-AHS Board in Model Two.

Where would a Public Board member sit within the existing PCN Governance structure?
• Model Two: In order to ensure a Public Board member would not carry the balance of power in Model Two (where the model would suggest an equal number of physician, AHS and public Directors) one process for consideration would be to require a minimum of one vote from each of the respective parties.
• This would mean that in order for any vote to be carried there would need to be broad levels of support across all Directors.

Helpful Hints• Advertising is key for transparency and openness
• Selection is not to be completed at the AGM but through the Boards Nomination Committee
• Seek assistance through the AMA workbook and through AMA staff resources
